I just installed Xubuntu 16.04 on an Acer Aspire 3680 old laptop (it's more than ten years old), and I can't get any wireless.

Typing "sudo ifconfig" I don't get a wlp4s0 device.

Typing "sudo iwcondif" I get:

enp2s0     no wireless extensions.

lo              no wireless extensions.


Is there some driver I'll need to install or is the laptop way to old to get wireless support?

First step: most laptops have a wireless switch (on/off) - often well hidden or allocated to the 'function' (FN) button. Have a look all around the box.
