Xubuntu 22.04 desktop

I usually have other distros install wifi drivers, such as RHEL 8.8, Oracle Linux 9. But not U22.04. I can see the hardware with lspci. So it can see the wifi card. But is is a driver issue.

Trying to follow this procedure below but there is no "Software and Updates" anywhere on the system, and the windows key has no effect.
I do have the gnome-software but there is nowhere to select "Additional Drivers" tab.
"software and updates" does not start from the command line either.

I mounted the install flash under /media but is that driver even on there? I thought Ubuntu was the easiest to install and use.

What do you think we'll be able to tell you??? You don't say what the hardware *IS*, so how do we know if "that driver" is on that USB drive??? We can't guess...again, as you've been asked many, MANY times, you need to provide details if you'd like help.

Could be missing firmware; could be something else. Unless you actually tell us what WiFi hardware you're using, we have no idea.
