[MOVED] zorin os 6

Hi!
Even if it sounds very strange that your wifi only works in 5.2 and not 6 (zorin6 is far more updated with wireless drivers), would you like to try to fix it?

Please post back the results of the following commands

Code:

lspci

Code:

sudo lshw -c network

Code:

sudo rfkill list all

i have a netis WF2106 usb wireless card

Thank you for that. Could you also plug in the usb adapter and post the result of

Code:

lsusb

Also, please do this:
Unplug the usb adapter
Open temrinal and write

Code:

sudo dmesg -c

Then plug in the adapter, wait 1 minute and write

Code:

dmesg

and post back here the results.


P.S.: I also see that you have a PCI network adapter. This adapter is not working...?
