Can not find wifi adaptor in wintel8 Cherry Trail CR Atom z8350 Ubunto

I brought home the minipc mentioned above and the first thing I did was installing ubunto v20.04. However, I am having trouble getting the wifi to connect. The bluethooth meanwhile seems to be working fine.

I have tried to update the drives using an Ethernet connection but with no luck. The problem seems to be that the OS does not recognize the wireless adaptor

Here is the output of lspci -knn

edit Here is the minipc model I have

Finally the sudo lshw -c network output

Any help is appreciated

What you've provided us is the specs for the processor on the system - this is NOT the model of computer you have. Based on the `lspci` output I would say that your system does NOT have a wifi card in it, however without the specific model system you're using or working with, nobody will be able to ID if it came with a card or not. Check `lsusb` as well in case its' a wifi adapter on an internal USB connection - that won't show in lspci if it is

May we also see: `lsusb` and also: `sudo dmesg | grep -i sdio` Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

I have edited the post above with the model and the command outputs. `sudo dmesg | grep -i sdio` did not produce an output

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.
