This is my first post.

Yes i checked all other posts on Askubuntu with similar problem but nothing seemed to work for 2021. Answers are outdated and links dont work. I want my network card on my motherboard to find wifi. So i probably need some drivers for my type of kernel. I tried to install previous kernels but nothing seemed to work.

My kernel is 5.8.0-55-generic. Output of lshw -C network is

*-network

I also found this [https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:1969-e091-1462-7918][1], which is a kernel driver but i tried to compile the file with gcc and errors for header files appear all the way, because gcc looks in the wrong folder for including them.

Any help for your Linux brother, me, would be appreciated!

PS. If you need any other outputs i will edit the question and paste it there.

Ethernet is for a wired network, and I’m not seeing a wireless device in your `lshw` output. Could you [edit] your question to include the output of `lspci`? If you have a built-in wireless adapter, it may appear in there.

Then i guess i have judged incorectly on that manner. Hes is my lspci output

I currently use a usb wifi adapter to find wifi, but i would really like to find another way to connect, but i guess i don't have any ways to do so.

That looks like a LAN Controller, which does not support W-LAN. Please Link or Name your exact Controller (or Motherboard), since I can't find any information about it.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
