About to check the “Hardware Status” of a HDD/SSD through a GUI for example Gnome offers the following tool:
Very valuable
Just being curious if exists in Linux something similar but for a wireless card . It for a laptop. If you know a command to accomplish this goal, it is well welcomed too
Just in case it is not about the Settings about the WIFI connection.
The goal is know if the wireless card has a damage of itself - thus discarding problem of software (either incorrect or missing drivers)
The normal procedure is to use lsusb or lspci or lsdev to see if the card or dongle is detected.
That does not report damage… it only tells you if the device was probed OK.
Hi Manuel,
Maybe my answer doesn’t match what you need, but you have the iw comnand and iwd deamon, and for last one, you have several front-ends, including Iwdgui, which seems to be what you want.
Not problem at all. You are a friendly and polite person
what GUI do you actually want for the Wireless card, i.e. what information do you want to know?
Its own status, if it is OK or not about the hardware itself (something like the Disk Utility does). Therefore if something is wrong I know that is expected a low range of transmission. Consider if the card has a kind of hit and something is broken. Or if the laptop itself was exposed to a considerable amount of heat and it harmed the card
