The above is from running "lspci -vv".

I believe I have the right driver, but I have no connection.

what's more - wpa-hu doesn't show anyythng, not even the card.

What am I missing?

Thank you.

i'm not aware of wpa-hu, and `e-file wpa-hu` didn't return any results - what package provides it? Or is that a typo, and you meant to write `wpa_gui`?

Anyway, what's the output of `ip a`?

Hi,
Yes, sorry - that was a typo and should have been wpa_gui.

Now here are the results requested:

Code:

3: sit0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0


I do have a wires interface in the laptop and I do have a CaT5 cable. ;-)

Thank yo.
