What do you mean by "Ubuntu doesn't find it"? To see whether it "sees" the card, run lspci. This lists all interfaces in your PCI bus.

The photo you share shows how you are trying to remove a package that doesn't exist on your Ubuntu machine. Why don't you install that package instead?

You say you have tried several things. You need to tell us what things you tried and what was the outcome. Were there error messages or other information that might help troubleshoot the case. Otherwise, we might suggest you do the same things, and everybody wastes time.

Have you searched the internet for instructions?

Hi sorry i am completely new, I dont understand the commands to install packages at all, I have this wifi card

ASUS PCE-AC68 Wireless PCIe Card

I cant hard wire the PC,I installed Ubuntu but the internet is not working and i have no idea what to do to get it working, Asus don't have Linux drivers for it and even if they did i would not know how to install them, can you please advice thank you. I don't want to uninstall Ubuntu because of this.

You were told a command to run that would let us help you; you did not run it, or if you did, you didn't post the results. It was also suggested that you install the package you were trying to remove (for some reason)..did you do that?? And if you're 'completely new', why are you just installing/removing packages without knowing what they do? You also say you've 'tried several things', but don't TELL US what they were, or even tell us what version of Ubuntu...we cannot guess.

This is a few years old, but gets your EXACT card working on Ubuntu:

Run
To see what hardware that you have and what kernel modules are loaded.
You can't find support until you know what you are looking for, or if it is already loaded.

What is the output of
Have you read the docs?
https://help.ubuntu.com/
https://docs.ubuntu.com/

To build on what the others have said, the brand of the card does not matter.

What matters is the wireless chipset inside the card, and the lspci command will disclose that.

you need to

Thank you i have it working now, I had to turn on the onboard WIFI on my MOBO and it just worked, I do have another question though,
When i installed Linux i took my windows hard rive out and installed Ubuntu on a separate new HDD, I then put my Windows HDD back in, I have followed some tutorials on how to get Ubuntu to duel boot but none of them work,
My windows HDD is a NVME, I have disabled secure boot ans fast boot and i have updated the grub but it wont find the windows installation, any help please, Thank you.

I haven't dual-booted for ages but, IMHO, you would have been better off leaving the Windows drive in the system when you added the hard disk that you wanted Linux to boot from. By being careful about which drive you installed Linux onto (obviously to avoid installing Linux over your Windows OS), the normal installation process would almost certainly have detected the Windows OS during the Grub configuration step and included that as a boot option. I'm not entirely sure how to resolve this for you but you don't appear to be the first to run into this situation. Have you tried an internet search? For example: Something like this one?

This link looks promising.

You should make a backup of the "/boot/grub2" directory's contents before making any changes to the grub configuration files. I would use "tar" to make an archive of the entire grub directory tree. If something strange happens and you cannot boot, boot from a CD or DVD and use the "rescue" function so that you can mount the Linux boot partition and restore the grub directory from the tar archive. You ought to try booting from your installation media and see what tools it contains. Most include a basic set of tools that allow you to get out of jams. If your installation media doesn't provide a "rescue" option, check out Knoppix. It's been around forever and is probably good to have a bootable copy of in your toolbox.

I highly recommend reading about grub (and its family of tools), tar, mount, and any other utilities that are mentioned while studying those manpages and/or any HOWTOs you run across while researching what you're trying to do.

Good luck... and be careful.
