No WiFi Adapter Found - Lenovo Laptop

I have searched and made several solutions for the wifi adapter but I have not been able to solve the problem for two days. The laptop is in dual boot and I have the Realtek RTL8852AE Wifi 6 802.11 ax PCIe Adapter.

This one has been being asked about a lot lately...
Can you please open a terminal and try:

sudo modprobe rtw89pci

Hi and welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

The last answer in this page might help you (Zorin is based on Ubuntu).

I have this error: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'rtw89pci': Operation not permitted

You need a root privilege to use this command.
Add sudo before the command like this:
sudo modprove modprobe rtw89pci

Result this : sudo: modprove: command not found

Oops, I made a spell mistake :sweat_smile: Sorry!
sudo modprobe rtw89pci

Moderator proof (prove) :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:. Nice one haha

Did you use sudo -i first ?

I tried this but i have this result: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'rtw89pci': Operation not permitted

Try this please

cd /lib/firmware && sudo mkdir
rtw89 && sudo wget
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin

Or

sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/rtw89

sudo cp ~/Documents/git/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin /lib/firmware/rtw89

sudo modprobe -r rtw89pci

sudo modprobe rtw89pci

For the second sudo i have this result: cp: cannot stat '/root/Documents/git/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin': No such file or directory

I forget to add the first line, please try again

cd /lib/firmware && sudo mkdir
rtw89 && sudo wget
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin

After download and install reboot

again: `/lib/firmware# cp: cannot stat '/root/Documents/git/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin': No such file or directory

Command 'cp:' not found, did you mean:

command 'cpu' from deb cpu (1.4.3-12)
command 'cpm' from deb cpm (0.32-1.2build2)
command 'cpp' from deb cpp (4:9.3.0-1ubuntu2)
command 'cpr' from deb node-cpr (3.0.1-1)
command 'cph' from deb conda-package-handling (1.6.0-2build1)
command 'cp' from deb coreutils (8.30-3ubuntu2)

Try: apt install <deb name>

`

Some info is there

All right, thank you!!

This is the wrong path.
You are running from Root, so it is looking for the documents directory in root- that does not exist.

sudo cp ~/Documents/git/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin /lib/firmware/rtw89

should work.
