Network adapter problem

Hello, I'm currently installing solus on my old laptop, but I have a problem, during the live usb process. I can't connect to any wifi network. It says wifi disabled, I tried the fn+f3 but didn't work. So I went back to windows and check the network driver there and it says Qualcomm atheros AR5B97 but when I run this code inxi -n on the terminal it showed Qualcomm Atheros AR9287. HELP

Who says 'wifi disabled'? I don't recognize that as a Linux message.

This thread from the Ubuntu forms might cast some light on this issue: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2321179

Judging from my web search, I think that the Qualcomm Linux drivers might be a little problematic, but I have no personal experience with Qualcomm.

As a general rule, I prefer to do installs with a wired connection in case the computer's wireless chipset is not supported out-of-the-box by the Linux kernel.
