    Hello,

    I have been using the udoo x86 advanced with Ubuntu 14.04 for a while now and I recently attached the wifi/bluetooth module on it. The module is not recognized by this system, is it an issue of compatibility with the Ubuntu 14.04 OS and is there a way around it? Do you know other possible reasons for the module not working on my system? Thanks for your help!

    Best regards,
    Sneha

    I suspect that version of Ubuntu is too old to have a driver for the card.

    Is the iwlwifi package installed? See also: https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi

    No, I don't think I installed this package, so unless it was setup with the Ubuntu 14.04 install this should not have been on my system. I will check this out, thanks!

    You might also need to enable it in the bios.
