$ inxi -N
Network:

Firstly folks, this is being written on my Linux machine.

I gave in to the struggle and acquired a USB wifi dongle, and with your guidance, got it up an running quite quickly.

Now that I see this site on the desktop, i see various of my posts did not reach the site.

Sorry for that.

Thank you for your patience, it's been a slog.

Thank you for your guidance too because I turned to that when I rebooted with the wifi dongle in place, and then ran those commands to both find and connect.

Thanks all.

FYI

Code:

crb999@crb999-OptiPlex-7010:~$ nmcli device wifi list
