On-board Wifi Card won't connect, but usb wifi does
My onboard wifi no longer connects - it does not even detect wireless networks interestingly. I can still connect using a wifi usb stick, though.
The onboard device is not even listed on ifconfig now (it was before, even when not working).
I guess it's broken, but just wondering if any experts on here might have more information?

Re: On-board Wifi Card won't connect, but usb wifi does
We need more information to work with. See the wireless wiki page to find a list of commands that will produce informative output.
At the very least `lspci -vnn | grep -i net` is needed before anything can be done.
Also a better description of when this stopped working. Was it recent? Was it with an upgrade? Was it on a different OS?
