Wireless Network Unclaimed?
by Mr.Snrub from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5C3JN)
Hi All, Linux noob here. I recently installed PopOS on my Teclast F6 plus and cannot get the system to recognize my wireless card (Intel 3165). I have tried literally dozens of fixes for similar issues I found on the Net but nothing works. Network Settings does not give me the option to add a wireless network, only wired and VPN. Based on my research I suspect the problem is a missing driver, but the 3165 is a common card and the driver should be included in the installation. In fact:


ls /lib/firmware | grep 3165Here is some more output:
iwlwifi-3165-13.ucode
iwlwifi-3165-9.ucode
lshw -c netCan anyone help me? As I said I am a total noob and would appreciate explicit instructions. I am tethering though my phone and can download whatever packages I might need. Many thanks!
