I haven't found an answer to my problem with all of my Google skills. Help…
Facts:
Old Toshiba Satellite laptop with freshly flashed Lubuntu
all updates and upgrades of any kind made
new old Wi-Fi / WLAN card bought and installed on Willhaben
Problem:
every time before the boot / system start I have to unscrew the back, remove the card and when the screen shows the first signs of a boat (glows dark), the card comes back in and I can use the card properly
if I don't do that, the screen doesn't do anything and the HDD LED, which normally flashes, doesn't do anything
I'm really desperate and have no idea what could be.
On the old laptop there's a switch / button where the WLAN module can be switched on. This is one of the Fn keys, is different on every laptop.
In the Linux console there's a command rfkill with which the WLAN card can be switched on or off.
I could imagine that there's also the option "boot via LAN / WLAN" in the boot sequence of the BIOS.
Which WLAN card is it?
That would have occurred to me now. But the questioner doesn't answer.
I quickly took a screenshot of the ad and added it
The WLAN card from an HP laptop, I suspect is incompatible, does not work with your Toshiba Satellite laptop.
I would look for an Intel WLAN card that should fit your Toshiba Satellite laptop better.
Alternatively, you can get a WLAN stick for little money.
You're right…
