I cannot get WiFi working

[skrhee]

Hello,

My wifi works fine in windows 10 but does not appear at all in Zorin 16

I have the following for sudo lshw -C network

  *-network DISABLED

I am not sure how to enable wifi.

Thank you @337harvey,

I tried the above command and get iwconfig: unknown command "enable"
I've also tried the follow command which did not work either.

sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up

I have followed the instructions on the github readme.md, but I must be doing something wrong. There are no errors, but still no wifi

Your printout above shows Two distinct Wireless devices. Which one is the USB one? Which are you using (Or trying to use...)?

[skrhee]

Still says network disabled for lshw -C network and status Down for ip a

[skrhee]

It does say that i have driver version 5.11.0-27, but wifi = (no device) for the wifi commands

Thank you for helping so much on this. This is literally my first week using Linux. I get the following error after downloading the file and running make.

May need to configure first. Try

/.configure

make

sudo make install
