And I thought this is because there is no wireless LAN drive on my Ubuntu so I did it following commands but it doesnt work.

sudo su
sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential
cd /usr/src/
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v4.4-rc2/backports-4.4-rc2-1.tar.gz
tar xvf backports-3.12.2-1.tar.bz2
cd backports-3.12.2-1
make defconfig-ath9k
make
sudo make install

    ens33 is the name of your wired connection and it is called "Predictable interfaces names" Related https://askubuntu.com/questions/628217/use-of-predictable-network-interface-names-with-alternate-kernels also see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ Nothing wrong there. – Rinzwind Jul 10 '18 at 06:53
  • Regarding the wireless. See if this works: https://askubuntu.com/a/643704/15811 – Rinzwind Jul 10 '18 at 06:53
  • I tried askubuntu.com/a/643704/15811 but it doesnt work and result was nothing after rkfill ~ command.. – JuYoung Lee Jul 10 '18 at 07:01
  • @Wiking nothing for both of them... – JuYoung Lee Jul 10 '18 at 16:06
