Deepin linux No Wireless networks shown (yes my router is on and working)
So i am a noob at linux, so I don't know much about the terminal but I's sure I can follow instructions. I just installed Deepin on my old Hp Pavilion g6 with AMD a5-3300M APU. However, I am unable to see my wireless networks in the settings area. Ill attach an image of the settings menu. I'm thinking I need to install a driver, but I don't know how to go about that on linux. If you could help, that would be much appreciated.
look for anything remotely looking like it controls your wifi then post what brand it is.
Code:
sudo rfkill list
look to make sure all of them say no. especially your wifi. if it comes up command not known or some such thing, then you'll need to install rfkill program. that is the catch 22 with that crap, rfkill. some distros have wifi block via rfkill, but they do not included that app to fix that. and need wifi to install it but they had the wifi blocked via rfkill.

The sudo rfkill list says

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: hp-wifi: wireless LAN
