No WiFi - LL 4.2 UEFI
#1
I have a bit of a problem with LL 4.2 UEFI not seeing my WiFi which means I can not get onto the www or any other network.
Info/outputs are at the very bottom of this post.

Using the very good info on this thread I have installed LL4.2UEFI on an external HDD that I recycled from an older laptop and so far it seams to be running spotty dog apart from the network issue I'm having. I guess you could say that I am dual booting Win10/LL4.2UEFI
I've tried LL4.8 in BIOS as this laptop can do legacy mode but still the same problem exists.
Problem also exists when using both versions of LL via live USB
I haven't tried an earlier version of LL yet but that is on the cards if I can't find a solution.

I do have an earlier version (3.X IIRC) of LL running on a 15 yo laptop and this doesn't have the problem so I copied all the network info over into this laptop with no joy.

To me it looks like LL on this laptop is not picking up the network card/adaptor so maybe drivers are missing however with no WiFi to search for what is needed I am not sure of the next step to take so I can resolve.

I'm currently search forums (mostly Ubuntu related forums so far) etc for info that may lead me in the right direction and wondered if anyone here might be able to help point me in the right direction.
