Additionally, if you do an lspci (assuming a built-in wireless) you can
see what the chip is. Normally, many laptops with AMD processors use
some version of Broadcom, and you would need to obtain the firmware for
it, which is well documented. But, as Patrick mentioned, no one can help
you unless we know what wireless chip is in use on your laptop.
Additionally, the output of dmesg can also tell you something.
If you are sending this informaiton to the list, please paste only the
relevant lines, not the entire lspci and dmesg.
