Hellow,

I am using an old dell inspiron 1525 and i decided to save it with bodhi linux. I could not connect to wifi, it seems to be a very commom issue, so I followed this tutorial:

www.bodhilinux.com/w/networking-wi-fi-faqs/

to find my driver

lspci -nn -d 14e4:

I only got information about my Network Controler, not about Wireless LAN Controller. So I do not know which driver i have to download. Can anyone help me?

I am sure it has wifi because I already conect this computer and in Dell site they keep this driver, but only for windows.

Hello and welcome

It is great you used our Bodhi wiki. What is worse we have no data about your HW. If you want us to help you we need much more info. OK let's start:
1. lspci -nn -d 14e4: command is only for Broadcom wifi device. It was explained in wiki section. We do not know you have a broadcom device
2. provide inxi -n command in terminal and show us the outcome
3. have you tried rfkill command to test if your wifi is blocked or not? Perform: sudo apt update && sudo apt install rfkill. Then run rfkill and post the outcome.
