"No WIFI adapter found" on dell precision 5510 with intel wireless 6280 card
so I want to start off saying I'm sorry for asking a question that has a lot of Help already, but I've tried most of what I can find. I'm very new to Linux, currently in my first semester for CompSci so bare with me please.
I am running a dual boot on my on my Dell Precision 5510, i7,16gb RAM, NvidiaM1000m Quaddro, 1TB SSD and the intel wireless 6280. i recently downloaded the newest version of 20.04LTS Ubuntu, Used Rufus to create a bootable thumb drive. it all seems to have worked correctly EXCEPT it cant get it to communicate with the Wifi card in my PC. I can tether my phone to my PC and it will have internet access then. i used the "try ubuntu" option first, everything seemed fine besides wifi, i figured it would be a simple driver fix, and decided to install it. followed the steps, created partition, and done.
i thought it might just be a Ubuntu problem, so i tried Linux mint and Manjara running off a bootable thumb drive to see if wifi worked with them. to no avail.so i am thinking that for some reason Windows Or Dell have some kind of block not allowing the Wireless card to function with Linux on a dual boot option?
im willing to attempt any suggestions given.
