Reinstalling LL after losing wifi due to installing updates

[gold_finger]

I agree with N4RPS here.  Think you're better off trying to get wifi working vs. going through a new install again.  Have a feeling that as soon as you run updates after the install you'll just end up back where you are now.

Temporarily use an ethernet cable for now.  Open a terminal and enter following commands one at a time.

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install inxi
inxi -nz

Copy/Paste back here the output of that last command which will show us what kind of network card is on the machine and what driver it's using.
