[sf-lug] thanks for the help

[James Stockford]

both Sunday, from Ken, Bobby, and John,
and, hopefully, in subsequent emails.

My Ubuntu 18.04 laptop was successfully
using wifi until my wifi gizmo died, maybe
with a last electronic shriek. I've got
wired networking up, but not wifi. So far
I've encountered only the unhelpful tips
via the internet.

I do not know what commands will yield
information helpful to any of you. If you
can, please let me know what commands
to type and I'll paste in the results.

When I use the settings feature for wifi,
the system returns "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found
Make sure you have a wifi adapter plugged and turned on"
