When I go into the network setting and try to turn on the wireless it turns on for half a second then turns off.īearing in mind I am a complete novice, is anyone able to assist in getting the wireless working?Ġ0:00.0 Host bridge : Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 06)Ġ0:01.0 PCI bridge : Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor PCI Express x16 Controller (rev 06)Ġ0:02.0 VGA compatible controller : Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)Ġ0:03.0 Audio device : Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06)Ġ0:14.0 USB controller : Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI (rev 04)Ġ0:16.0 Communication controller : Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04)Ġ0:1a.0 USB controller : Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #2 (rev 04)Ġ0:1b.0 Audio device : Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)Ġ0:1c.0 PCI bridge : Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev d4)Ġ0:1c.2 PCI bridge : Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #3 (rev d4)Ġ0:1c.3 PCI bridge : Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev d4)Ġ0:1d.0 USB controller : Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #1 (rev 04)Ġ0:1f.0 ISA bridge : Intel Corporation HM86 Express LPC Controller (rev 04)Ġ0:1f.2 SATA controller : Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 (rev 04)Ġ0:1f.3 SMBus : Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 04)Ġ1:00.0 3D controller : NVIDIA Corporation GK107M (rev a1)Ġ3:00.0 Network controller : Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)Ġ4:00.0 Ethernet controller : Qualcomm Atheros QCA8171 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) My wireless adapter is a Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter.
I've tried reading a few answers that seemed relevant but find it all a bit confusing, the people asking seem to have a better grasp on using terminal code etc than I do and I don't want to take any risks.Ĭurrently, I'm doing a full update using an ethernet cable - hoping that might fix it but suspect from the questions I've seen on my adapter it probably won't. I'm pretty much a novice and don't know where to start. I just did a clean install, overwriting my old Windows.
