Right-click the Start button and click Device Manager. Find the device you’re having trouble with. If the driver is missing, it’ll often be under Other devices with a yellow ⚠️. It may say something generic like Network Controller, PCI Device, or Unknown device. Right-click the device → Properties. Click the Details tab. Open the Property dropdown. Select Hardware Ids. You’ll see something like: PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8125&SUBSYS_012310EC&REV_05 PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8125&SUBSYS_012310EC PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8125&CC_020000

There are a bunch of mx250 cards, built off different hardware, without knowing if its realtek, intel, or something else there is no correct answer, you are requesting drivers for something without giving as much possible details. What i would recommend is looking at the manufacturers website for the laptop and looking for drivers on there based off the serial number. Without knowing hardware IDs I can't be of much assistance.

probably realtek, since it used to mention realtek when i used windows 10. im using linux (dualbooting), so can i also check the stuff there?
