I had a few problems with my laptop earlier related to sudo not working, and then disk space issues. After solving that, the only problem remaining is WiFi not working, which was Ok before all that. I'm afraid I've done something to corrupt it inadvertently. Please help, I really need my computer working, and I had a ton of trouble with it recently. Thanks a lot in advance.
I know this information might not be enough to get concrete help, so please tell me what command you want me to run. I tried pressing F12, but it didn't help. When I open the WiFi window to connect to a network, the message I see is "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found Make sure you have a Wi-Fi adapter plugged and turned on"
I repeat, I did have WiFi until hours ago. It's frustrating because I don't have the right ethernet cable for my laptop, so it's offline and I can't do any real work because of that.
I try
lshw -C network
network DISABLED
description: Wireless interface
In addition
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
If I try
rfkill list
0: hci: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked:np
Then
lspcu -knn | grep Net -A3
