thehatsrule - it is a used laptop that I pick up cheap so it is not a big loss. I did check the bios and could not find anything related to the network adapter but I do not have a manual and could not find one online that explain the bios settings but most I can figure out. I was just trying to understand if the lspci command does not identify a hardware element is it safe to assume the hardware does not exist or is malfunctioning or can this also result from a missing or misconfigured driver. I am still not clear on this but in my case I think it is hardware as both linux and windows do not see a network adapter.
