My wifi button is not there and bluetooth doesn't turn on

Hardware Support

" The Linux driver for the IMC Networks Wireless_Device (USB ID 13d3:3579 ) is the kernel module btusb. This device is a Bluetooth adapter, not a Wi-Fi card, and is supported by kernel versions 2.6.24 and newer .

  • Driver Name : btusb
  • Kernel Support : Available in all modern Linux kernels (2.6.24+)
  • Function : Bluetooth connectivity only; it does not provide Wi-Fi capabilities.
  • Configuration : Ensure CONFIG_BT and CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB are enabled in your kernel configuration.

Users reporting Wi-Fi issues with laptops containing this device (such as ASUS VivoBook or G14 models) are often confusing this Bluetooth component with a separate, incompatible MediaTek Wi-Fi chip (e.g., ID 14c3:7902). The 13d3:3579 device itself generally works out-of-the-box on standard distributions like Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, and Linux Mint 21.2+, though some newer kernel versions or specific hardware configurations may occasionally report "failed" status in hardware databases. If Bluetooth is not functioning, verify the kernel version is at least 5.15 or newer and check for additional proprietary firmware packages.

Your other hardware device is the fingerprint reader:

" The Elan Microelectronics Corp. ELAN:ARM-M4 (ID 04f3:0c90) is not officially supported by the standard libfprint library in mainstream Linux distributions.

However, it is possible to use this device by compiling a community-developed driver . Key details include:

  • Community Solution : A user successfully modified a fork of the libfprint-elanmoc2 driver (specifically by forking a fork and making minor code changes) to support this device.
  • Installation Challenges : After compiling the driver, users may encounter the error Impossible to enroll: GDBus.Error:net.reactivated.Fprint.Error.NoSuchDevice .
  • Fix for Detection : To resolve detection issues after compilation, create the file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf with the lines /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib64 , then run sudo ldconfig and restart the service with sudo systemctl restart fprintd.service .
  • Alternative Models : Other Elan models like 04f3:0c4b and 04f3:0c4c have better support, often available via the libfprint-2-tod1-elan package in Ubuntu PPAs.

The only other device is your Samsung phone which you are using to tether for internet access, so either there is no wireless cip in your notebook or it has been damaged/fried. I would advise you buy a USB dongle like this:
