sorry I'm new to all of this, so I'm after some help from the experts.

I've installed Ubuntu on the raspberry pi 4 and it boots and everything is working well from a device side.

But I have a USB Wifi dongle that I need to connect so I can set it up as an access point to run some tests.

The dongle is visible in lsusb but it isn't visible anywhere else;

I presum the hardware is blocked and thats why it's not coming up and visible in lshw but thats just a guess.

I did also wonder if the issue was drivers, but if I go to the driver GUI in the desktop it suggests that there are no drivers to install.

Can anyone help at all?

For info-

not sure what else you will need to know.
