Hi PackRat, Vastone

Sorry for not getting back yesterday, was rather busy.
No not connected by cell phone provider.
age of computer bios date 3/3/2008, so I have had this board at least from then

are conflicting with each other and if they are can I delete or somehow stop the realtek  line from working without causing any problems

Hi VastOne
Yes my router/modem is provided by SKY.
I have only one WiFi card on my computer, the one that I  have just bought. the wired connection is built into the motherboard. The only other cards I have are a graphics card and an audio card.
here is my latest lspci output.

I don't know why both won't work at the same time but if both are connected neither of them works, I have to take the WiFi card out to get the wired one to connect to the internet.
No idea how to find out the WiFi name and password the other things use

Hi VastOne, PackRat
Yes there are several items connected to my WiFi.
There are Samsung phone ,two Samsung tablets and an iPhone 8 plus several other items when the grand children are here, all have no problem
My router is provided by SKY.
That is the screen I get when I run Ceni. the only difference is when I have the WiFi card in I get wlp2s0 in place of enp2s15

Hi PackRat
Been in contact wit SKY but no use could not help or didn't want to. Can't find out ip address or anthing else from them. Only concerned  about providing broadband and nothing else

Hi PackRat

No couldn't set it up as it wouldn't connect. I have an idea what the router name and password are but it won't let me set them. That s to say I dont know what to do or find out where I can ediit them.
Iwconfig does find the card and come up with a load of info but I haven't found where I can edit them or how to

Hi VastOne
Am unable to download install wicd is now obsolete

Hi VastOne

First of all I have been doing loads of reading about Ceni and am completely baffled as what the how to says and snap shots show are the same as what I get when I launch it
Right etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0

allow-hotplug enp2s15



# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface enp2s15 inet dhcp

# iface wlp1s0 init dhcp


Ceni

I hashed out the wlp2s0 to get onto the net, although I don't know if I needed to

I will download and install wicd and see how that goes 

Hi Folks
Still no luck in geting it working. It knows that the card is there but won't connect on either wired or wieless if they are both plugged in or if I disconnect the wired line.
The command iw wlp2s0 info gives

Interface wlp2s0
Ifindex 3
Wdev 9x1
Addr 9c:fc:e8:f3:1c:22
Type managed
Wiphy 0
Tx power 0.00 dBm
Multicast TXQ:qsz-byt qsz-pkt flows drops marks overlmt hashcol tx-byts tx-packets
All with 0 beneath them

No idea what else to try.
Added wlp2s0 to the network interfaces folder configured to init dhcp

Hi VastOne

I ran the command and this is the reply

Err:1 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid/non-free amd64 firmware-iwlwifi all 20201022-1
  404  Not Found [IP: 141.76.2.4 80]

Back again
Just done an upgrade to 5.10.0-2-amd64.
ran the command again and it installed the firmware.
while I'm on i alerted the network interface and added a line

allow-hotplug enp2s15

which then let me onto my wired connection, don't know if I should have or not but it seems to have worked. now to try my new card again

Hi VastOne
Ok will do. Won't do anything else till you post again 

Hi PackRat
Well I finally got the wired network working  so tomorrow I will do a reinstall and see if that sorts out the wifi card.

Hi PackRat
Sorry to say that didn't work
Lspci new that the card had been removed also

Hi PackRat
Yes lspci does recognise that the card is present, at least I think it does.
The line says ( 02:00.0 network controler : intel corporation Wi -Fi 6 AX200 ( rev 1a ) )

Hi PackRat
No I don't get the network back.

Hi

ip addr not even finding enp2s15 now

Massive help needed now. Only solution yhat I can think of mow is a complete reinstall
