Hopefully it would be that easy. Else @Winnie26 needs to do the hard way.

[joshuaorbit]

Well I am known for dangerous optimism ..... lol

[Winnie26]

is this the right command?

[Storm]

Your card seems to be unknown for the system. Do you have any data/specs what your wireless card is called? Realtek XXXXXX.XX

[Winnie26]

Is this what you mean?

[joshuaorbit]

yup ! top right corner the hamburger click

[Winnie26]

In windows it said RTL8852BE.

[joshuaorbit]

But I doubt my trick will work ----- your card is UNKNOWN for the system.

Can you specify the BRAND and TYPE of laptop we are talking about (built year maybe) ?

@Storm

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install gcc make build-essential git linux-headers-$(uname -r)

[Storm]

There's an answer from here you might want to try: wifi Adapter not found realtek RTL8852BE WiFi 6 802.11ax PCIe in ubuntu 22.04 - Ask Ubuntu

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:kelebek333/kablosuz 
sudo apt install git bc
git clone https://github.com/HRex39/rtl8852be.git
cd rtl8852be
make
sudo make install

Note, every time the kernel gets updated you have to install the driver again. I know, annoying...

[Storm]

yes. It's need to compiling.

[Winnie26]

How do I update it?

By running this I posted: Internet not working - New User - #16 by Storm

[Winnie26]

Oh so I repeat the process?

[Winnie26]

It was doing something but the internet isn't back? I tried restarting too.

[Storm]

Have you disabled secure boot in BIOS. If not, you have to.

[Winnie26]

You are a champion. Thank you so much.

[Winnie26]

I needed to disable secure boot and now it is all working.
