I've set up Ubuntu Server on my laptop using Ethernet. Now I need to switch it to Wi-Fi. The network manager doesn't list Wi-Fi, and no wireless extensions appear. Lo shows no wireless options, and the interface can't scan. I tried configuring with wpa_supplicant in the specified format but faced issues. After some attempts, I got an error when trying to initialize the driver. How can I establish a wireless connection?

Instead of a simple wireless setup problem, it seems the wireless card isn't being detected. You can verify this by executing: ip link show If no wireless adapter appears, please share the details such as the hardware model and the Ubuntu version you're running.
