Fedora no Wireless Extensions and No Server Found on firefox
 
I am new to Linux and use Fedora

1) When I run the following codes:
ifconfig enp0s3 down
iwconfig enp0s3 mode monitor

I get: Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06):
SET failed on device enp0s3 ; Operation not supported.

2) When I run: iwconfig I get:
enp0s3 no wireless extensions
lo no wireless extensions

3) When I run Firefox, I get Server Not Found. How can I get the internet running?

Any help will the 3 Errors will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

welcome to Linux Questions
type ifconfig and paste the output here.

what do you want to achieve?

what you are describing sounds like pentesting instructions, yet in the end you mention a simple browser network error?

just getting internet up on a gui distro should not require anything of what you posted there.

Yes Ondoho you are right it is for Pen testing..

I think the main problem I'm having is with the Wireless Extensions.

I tried using the Browser(Firefox) on Fedora to download. That's when I got the Server not found.
It's why I put it on here.

It does not show a wirelesss device only your ethernet card "enp0s3" not a wirless net card.
Did you think you had a wireless card. If you did what one is it.
if usb type lsusb .
or
lspci
could be
lshw

do it as sudo or root.

The wireless adapter might be disabled in the BIOS setup.

I fixed the problem by downloading a wireless extension in google.

Thanks
