[Solved]Is Wifi working?

[zabadabadoo]

Can you tell us the specific Toshiba Satellite Model you have.

I was directing you to use a device that can connect to router's home page. You then go to a section which allows you to specify devices by their Hardware ID. Have you tried that?

@swarfendor437

So if you don't know the hardware id in hexadecimal, using:

sudo ifconfig -a
``will list all network devices and there hexadecimal IDs.

ifconfig not found

Edit: And now its working! All I've done is repeatedly press what looks like a wifi button (F12) with or without the Fn button, but I tried this many times yesterday with no success

Glad to hear! I'm wondering why "rfkill list" has not shown it.

[zabadabadoo]

Yes F12 key is wifi toggle switch on that Toshiba satellite pro NB10t. It is a shame there is no indicator to show whether wifi is set ON or OFF.

This indicates that you do not have net-tools installed. If you had ifconfig -a would have got you the hardware id.

sudo apt install net-tools

Can this informations not be shown by entering "ip a" without installing the old tool?

Sure, if you wanna get drunk.

When I ran ifconfig -a it outputted a lot of info, most of it nonsense, except IP info I suppose.

This post appears to be in a solved state, so I think the OP has got it covered now, they have earned their IPA.

I'll see if I can install it now i'm on the Internet.

Thanks, everyone
