  • @chili555 the correct command is: rfkill list (you forget the 't' in list, also 'all' doesn't seem to be necessary). You can click edit to change your question. Please open a terminal with Ctrl + Alt + t and enter the command we mentioned, select the result with the mouse and copy it with Ctrl + Shift + c.

Seems like you might be missing the firmware for your wifi network card.

Try to download it and reboot (check here http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi and put the firmware in /lib/firmware)

  • Why do you believe he has an Intel wireless card? Moreover, most Intel firmware is included by default.
