I installed kernel 4.19.184 but the card is still not usable although inxi -Nxx recognises it as before. However Ceni does not see it, neither does network assistant.
The list of PCI slots shows 4 to be available one being the 1-lane slot occupied by this wlan card, the other 1-lane slot has a Sata-3 expansion card and the used 16-lane slot has a graphics card. What the other 2 slots in the list are I have no idea except they are unused.
Have you any further suggestions I might try? I have refrained from plodding through the remaining kernels offered although am happy to do so if you feel it may produce results.
At present I am using the internet with a plug-in usb adapter which is satisfactory but not a definitive solution.
Has my card got a well-known chipset onboard and if so is this problem likely to go away in the future or should I look for a more suitable wlan card? The one I chose for a previous build is fine using all the kernels I have tried and I feel I should have bought another.
