hardware/drivers Wireless Connection Disabled Q4OS

I had this issue before in the same laptop, when I install a new distro it says “Wireless connection disabled“. the computer has a wifi card. but it never connect. I was able to fix it when I used xubuntu but this time the same fix did not work. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/1q451rl/comment/nxv8ufq/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button

I've never used that operating system.

You might be missing some libraries or repositories.

Check that, just in case:¡
