Hello Guys,

 

after watching Linus video over Linux i decided i would install a Linux Distro on my old Laptop. I installed Deepin 15.11 on my Lenovo YOGA 2 11 and now i cant find my WiFi network at home.

 

I read i need to install the drivers of the Networkcard.

 

I am a total noobie to Linux but would love to use it.

Good OS choice. Deepin (at least the DE) is very underrated imo.

 

Do you know the model of network card you have in your laptop?

lsusb will show USB devices, not your network card which is on mini PCIe.

follow these instructions:

 

https://wiki.debian.org/ath9k_htc#Installation

for this command: etc/apt/sources.list,  it tells me i dont have the rights to do so

 

and for this one :

# Debian 8 "Jessie"
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free 

it does nothing

it sounds like you haven't read much about deepin or linux before installing it.

you should read some articles and learn the OS, otherwise you will never be able to fix things.


the first thing you should read about is how debian packages work and how sudo works

There is a common misconception that those of us that use linux want to push it on everyone, this is not the case.
I am under no obligation to motivate you to use linux, nor do I care to.
I have given you the tools to answer your questions, but I'm not going to write a step by step for you.

if linux is too hard to use right now for you, no worries.  Just install windows and problem solved.  Linux is not for everyone, it has best use cases just like windows has best use cases.
