Can you open terminal and post results for

lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net; dpkg -l | grep linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)

THANKS for reply. here you go:

ii linux-modules-extra-5.11.0-16-generic 5.11.0-16.17 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 5.11.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP

Ok, results for

lshw -C network

Check in BIOS to see if WLAN is enabled as I know I can disable wifi on this Lenovo in BIOS

cannot see option in bios to disable wifi. there is an option to load default settings though.

result of code:
WARNING: you should run this program as super-user.
WARNING: output may be incomplete or inaccurate, you should run this program as super-user.

i truly appreciate your time and help!

Prefix the command with sudo

sudo lshw -C network

Type your password and press enter (there will no echo)
Go to advanced reply and copy/paste the output in code tags

See the wireless script link in my signature and post results

ok. how can i get to the second line and then send both lines as one command? or do i send them individually?

i mean this for example:
When troubleshooting wireless, it's important that your system is fully updated by opening a terminal, CTRL+ALT+T. Using a wired internet connection, please run:
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

Copy the entire thing and paste into terminal, all 3 lines at once
