A missing Wi-Fi menu, a missing adapter, and one missing network are different failures. Follow this evidence-first Ubuntu workflow to locate the broken layer before restarting services or changing drivers.
Prefer `apt install ./package.deb` so Ubuntu can resolve repository dependencies in one transaction. If `dpkg -i` already left packages unpacked or unconfigured, diagnose the exact state, repair it without blind removals, and verify the package database.

Changing a Git commit message creates a new commit ID. Learn when to amend, reword, revert, or reset—and how to update one remote branch with an explicit force-with-lease instead of destructive `push --all -f`.
An IP address is a starting clue, not a complete device identity. Correlate Linux routing and neighbour data with DNS, DHCP or cloud inventory, then use the smallest authorized Nmap probe that answers the remaining question.
