To turn the request of actionparsnip it into detailed instructions:

you have been asked to open a terminal window (e.g. by hitting Ctrl-Alt-t)

Then please enter the command

sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; rfkill list

When this asks for your password, please enter it, but note, that you will not see any feedback when entering the password (no echo, not even '*' placeholders - just enter the password and hit 'Enter')

To enter that somewhat complicated command you can use 'copy and paste' techniques: mark that command text as seen in your browser and select the menu command edit - copy. Then go to the terminal window and select the menu command edit - paste.

When that command has been completed, select all text in the terminal window (edit - select all) and copy it (edit - copy), and finally paste the contents into the 'Message:' box of this launchpad question-and-answer document https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/164060

If there are further questions open do not hesitate to ask.

you mistyped rkill instead of rfkill.

Just execute the command and copy/paste all output!
