Kubuntu 22.04.01 doesn't see available network connections
I recently downloaded Kubuntu 22.04.01 onto a CD. I installed it on my Dell 1737 Studio computer. After running Kubuntu from the disc, I went to make a wireless connection and found that it wasn't seeing any.
This isn't the first instance of this I've seen lately. I've had this issue with Fedora 35, Linuxmint 20 and LMDE 5. All of my computers are older. I ran the lspci -vv command on this one and here is the results. Some of my older computers have Broadcom 4313 cards. I'm not sure if you can answer this question but are new Linux distros getting to the point where they are no longer supporting older network cards? Thanks.

Linux Wireless Wiki. It has all information you need. Most issues with wireless are firmware related, you may need to add proper package from your software manager by yourself, it is not installed automatically.

Thanks Emerson. I'll check that out.
