Hi all

I just installed Lunbuntu 21 on my 2009 Macbook pro and I'm having a lot of trouble getting the WIFI to work. I went to Preferences and selected additional drivers but its says there are no additional drivers

What do i do now

Perhaps consider adding your solution here in case someone has the same problem in the future.

Edit: there's also an option to mark your thread as "resolved" if you ever want to do this. The three white dots to the right and above your first post (more options) > edit thread > drop down menu of "no prefix" > resolved > save.

Glad you've got it sorted.

I've an M2 but am posting this on a mid2009 MBP (MacOS). Unrelated to your issue, I did actually require the WiFi card (and almost everything else) to be replaced. It would on occasion drop WiFi, but always when running the Speedtest from Ookla.
