I am attempting to enable the wireless capabilities of a (Lenovo G505); to no avail. A step by step explanation of how to accomplish this with Neon 5.10, would be greatly appreciated. I Love this OS, but lack the patience and expertise to solve this issue. Thanks

until you get better reply try this

open a terminal and post the output to this command----copy and paste it don't try to type it manually....run as a local user

Code: Select all

lspci -nn -d 14e4:

I don't have a laptop but I have a tower.....you will get a result from this page
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use ... ed_devices

maybe 14e4:4365 which is maker or manufacturer id of 14e4 and product id of 4365

2) to enable some wifi devices you will also need to run the rfkill command as root but for now show us the output to

Code: Select all

ls -al /usr/sbin/rfkill

Leaping ahead if you get nothing here install the package

Code: Select all

sudo apt install rfkill

3) depending on your post result for (1) you are likely to need some firmware and maybe a kernel module that works with that chipset.
but such a small post count....I don't want to leap ahead until I know .....how good are you at following suggestions?

and how much Linux skills do you have?
