Well that's not showing a discovered wireless adapter at all

Is it an internal adapter or a USB wireless card ?

What's the output from:

Are you sure there's a wireless adapter at all ? .. if so, have you somehow disabled it via the BIOS or a hardware switch ?

I'm seeing TWO ethernet adapters, but NO wireless adapter

[anvvsharma]

Hmm!
It doesn't look like you have a wifi card...
Have you EVER used wifi on this machine? Maybe the card is broken/disconnected?
You could always get an usb-wifi dongle.

Yes i dont see wireless adaptpers ; how to install them

I mean I'm not seeing any detected wireless hardware at all

[anvvsharma]

yes i never used WIFI in this machine. Does this need a hardware wifi to detect

[PCNetSpec]

Yeah, it looks like it has NO wireless hardware, so you're going to need to add the hardware.
