I have made several attempts to configure WiFi on my Ubuntu. However, I have not been able to succeed so far. I have a Dell E7440 laptop and I have my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS configured on Oracle VM.

I have tried several proposed solutions to reinstall, update software but none of those have worked.

Any help to resolve this will be appreciated.

Solutions tried so far:

    lshw -C network

I tried several solutions yesterday.

I obtained this answer from DELL support: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/es-es/000193252/wi-fi-6e-not-supported-on-client-linux-operating-system?lwp=rt

MY SOLUTION:

  • Update DELL BIOS
  • Change Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS for Ubuntu 21.10 (non LTS)
2
  • I do not see how changing the OS is a fix for the question as asked.
