Wireless PCI card not connecting
Hi Everyone,
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with a Wireless N PCI Adapter on my PC. The system sees the adapter as RTL8190 802.11n PCI Wireless Network Adapter, however it is registered as unclaimed. I issued the following commands to obtain the output below. Could someone please help me to diagnose the issue?
COMMANDS
family@family:~$ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install usbutils pciutils hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scan | grep -Ei 'chan|ssid'; cat /etc/network/
[sudo] password for family:
