Question No wifi with Elementary install on old MacBook Air

I have installed Elementary on three MacBooks but this is the only one that won't connect to wifi immediately.

Hi...

Welcome to the forum

We'll need more information about your wireless adapter to help you. Please open a terminal and post the output of...

Code:
lspci -nnk | grep -i net -A2
If this is a USB adapter, then...

Code:
lsusb
Thanks!
