I just started with Ubuntu 18.04. Everything else seems to be fine, but it does not recognize my WiFi card. I also tried getting a USB WiFi and it does not recognize that either.

What I have:

I tried this: https://askubuntu.com/a/996618 and it did not work.

  • "It didn't work" doesn't give any information. Probably you didn't disable Secure Boot in BIOS. – Pilot6 Jul 24 '18 at 14:03
  • Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list terminal command. – Pilot6 Jul 24 '18 at 14:04

    @Pilot6 I think OP has RTL8723DE, but OP tried the answer with older module which is incompatible with newer kernels (OP has 18.04). – pomsky Jul 24 '18 at 14:08
  • OK, but we don't know of that was the problem. – Pilot6 Jul 24 '18 at 14:10
  • Thanks both. Pilot6, you were right, it was the Secure Boot. Took me a while to figure out how to turn that off. Once I did the Wifi worked. – Chris Jul 25 '18 at 19:12

See this answer

For kernel 4.15 you need this:

sudo dkms remove rtl8723de/5.1.1.8_21285.20171026_COEX20170111-1414 --all
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/smlinux/rtl8723de.git -b 4.15-up
cd rtl8723de
sudo dkms add .
source dkms.conf
sudo dkms install $PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION
