I've looked everywhere but can't find how to activate wireless networking. WLAN0 appears not to be working or activated.

Thanks

PS:Too Short?

Edit: Already tried that answer. Has not worked. The output of ifconfig is:

EDIT 2 I'm kinda an ubuntu noob. Thanks 4 ur patience. :) Output of sudo lshw -C network is

*-network

And iwconfig is

      Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
      Power Management:off

Edit 3: A start job is running for raise network interfaces (-----/5m 34s)or something like that. Mean anything to you?

  • Is it a PCI or USB wireless?

  • Please execute the command ifconfig and edit your question to include the output Jun 14, 2017 at 14:56
  • Did you look here? askubuntu.com/questions/464507/…

  • Can you also add the outputs of sudo lshw -C network and iwconfig to your question? Jun 15, 2017 at 16:10
  • Again, what exactly did you try, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Were there error messages? Did you struggle to find the appropriate user interface controls for your aims? I can't make anything out of what you told us so far. "I looked everywhere" isn't helpful – if that were literally true there would be no point in looking further. Jun 15, 2017 at 16:51
