wifi not working on new install

[stevef]

have tried a few things

To avoid duplication of effort, can you tell us what you've tried and what the outcomes were ?

ive tried installing the driver through the device manager and it said it was using one but apparently it isn't!

Can you clarify please ?

network UNCLAIMED

Is a worry - it might get complicated, but we can start with some basics

Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T together.
In the window that opens type or paste in these commands followed by enter each time

Code:

rfkill

Code:

inxi -n

Please post back the outcome.
