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

Please see this thread:

If you have the 7902, it is troublesome...

it just says mediatek corp not 7902 is there any way of seeing the specific card?

Yes, scrolling up to Forpli's request, we see:

lspci -nnk | grep -A3 -i network

Yes, you have the 7902.

Thanks for the help , i just gotta buy a dongle it a good enough sacrifice to use linux :sweat_smile:

For the wifi i need a dongle but for bluetooth?

Bluetooth and Wifi both fall under Radio which should be under the same NIC.
Getting Wifi means getting Bluetooth, unless it is a very off-market brand product you select.

so to be sure should i buy just wifi dongle or wifi and bluetooth dongle

A wifi dongle should contain bluetooth as well. They do not often market them as having both or one or the other.

Your primary search will be focused on "Linux Compatible" - If it is a known supported brand name, you can rest assured that bluetooth is included.

ok thanks

Take a look at the devices listed here on this linux distribution page:

Also take a look here but it depends on the device in your Notebook:

See if there are any dongles that use the Intel AX210 chipset:

Intel-based PCIe cards , specifically the Intel AX200 or AX210 , are the most reliable options that combine both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with seamless, out-of-the-box support on Ubuntu 24.04 - this statement relates to cards for Desktop computers, but there might be dongles that use AX hardware.

it said it should be part of release 7,0 but when i download it says something like dpkg error while cleaning and it says installed but when i restart it didnt change to 7,0 i even tried the grub advanced options but still doesnt work

I think kernel 7.0 is for ubuntu 26.04 not 24.04 differnt layout as 24.04 is noble
if you have mainline installed try using the 6.18 generic kernel the very first one in the list see if it installs

if that dont work you can try the liquorix kernel

add this first.... sudo add-apt-repository ppa:damentz/liquorix

then add...... sudo apt install linux-image-liquorix-amd64

should take you into the 6.19 kernel

you should uninstall 7.0 with the mainline before trying another kernel as well
