Beyond that you may need to contact the manufacturer to get the correct driver. This shows the Broadcom drivers available in the Ubuntu Mate repository. Here is another post about the Broadcom drivers available. Synaptic will appear under System>Adminstration>Synaptic Package Manager Open a terminal (System Tools> Mate Terminal>) and type then It tells you about the programs and can update, upgrade, install, uninstall and fix some broken packages.

I would encourage you to install synaptic. You open a terminal and type the sudo command. I.e Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9462 (this is not the Latitude card but another laptop) If you prefer you can open a terminal and use this command for PCI devices to list your wireless card. The easiest way to do that is put the laptop on a wire, install hardinfo (sudo apt-get install hardinfo) and then look at "System Tools>System Profiler and Benchmark> PCI devices>Network Controller". If that does not solve your problem list your WIFI card so others can help you find and install the correct drivers. That means WIFI is not enabled and then Ubuntu Mate cannot find the WIFI card to find the WIFI networks.

On my Dells if they are without power for any length of time (no battery, dead battery or not plugged in) they lose your bios settings (I had never seen this before on other brands). None showed the WIFI networks after the install.Ĭheck your bios and see if WIFI is enabled. I have two older Dell Latitudes running Ubuntu Mate and put it on a third Latitude for a friend that all started life with Win7.
