does it imply my wifi adapter is broken? I have an old macBook air from 2009, I have installed on it Ubuntu 22.04. it works but very slowly. now I want to use it as a server. I want to use the wifi adapter that's built-in, but it didn't install the proper driver. so I have downloaded the driver using this Youtube instructional video. Now i have come to the Ubuntu software and updates to add the driver on the Additional drivers tab, but then I saw that it says the device is not working. so I want to know if it could be the device is physically broken or it just means something with the driver isn't OK. I have tried before this to install the driver manually using modprob <driver_name> but got the error message saying: Module does not exist in... I have already looked at This thread and at this thread so I don't think there is any duplicity here. thank you in advance and sorry dor my English:)this is a picture I have taken from my phone I looked also at this article

  • Please start a new question about your wireless being slow. Also see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1368031/why-arent-proprietary-drivers-in-use/1368042#1368042 where it says: "The statement that "This device not working" is simply incorrect. The Additional Drivers utility often shows the same incorrect warning." Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Feb 26 '23 at 00:13
