I've looked everywhere but can't find how to activate wireless networking. WLAN0 appears not to be working or activated.

Thanks

PS:Too Short?

Edit: Already tried that answer. Has not worked. The output of ifconfig is:

EDIT 2 I'm kinda an ubuntu noob. Thanks 4 ur patience. :) Output of sudo lshw -C network is

*-network

And iwconfig is

wlan0     IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any  
      Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
      Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
      Power Management:off

Edit 3: A start job is running for raise network interfaces (-----/5m 34s)or something like that. Mean anything to you?

  • Is it a PCI or USB wireless? – Pilot6 Jun 14 '17 at 14:13
  • Please execute the command `ifconfig` and edit your question to include the output – Charles Green Jun 14 '17 at 14:56
  • Did you look here? https://askubuntu.com/questions/464507/ubuntu-14-04-server-wifi-wpa2-personal/464552#464552 – chili555 Jun 14 '17 at 15:13
  • Can you also add the outputs of `sudo lshw -C network` and `iwconfig` to your question? – Charles Green Jun 15 '17 at 16:10
  • Again, what *exactly* did you try, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Were there error messages? Did you struggle to find the appropriate user interface controls for your aims? I can't make anything out of what you told us so far. "I looked everywhere" isn't helpful – if that were literally true there would be no point in looking further. – David Foerster Jun 15 '17 at 16:51
