Take the 2-minute tour ×  Let's say I have a problem with my
wireless connection. What commands should I run to share their
output with a tech-savvy friend or an online support community?
For example:    • How can I tell if my wireless card is
recognised?   • How can I get information on which wireless
networks are within range?   • How can I tell if I am connected
to a wireless, but not the Internet?  I'm asking this question
because I'm seeing many questions about problems with wireless
connections, without many details, like this one. It would be
useful if I could point to this question so that the asker can
improve their question with more information. I'm hoping for a
comprehensive answer with all the details, or with links to
other generic questions for brevity.  share|improve this
