I have a dell latitude d620 on which i run both window 7 and ubuntu 17.10. but i discovered that whenever i log on ubuntu, it doesn't always find any network. it always search forever, something which is different when i log on to windows.
i have gone through many thread, but their answers seems not helping.
i will post the list of codes that i have run below and their result.

sudo lshw -C network

I tried

iwlist wlan0 scan

But it said

wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning.

I tried:

iwconfig

enp9s0    no wireless extensions.

i tried this

lspci | grep -i -E wireless|ethernet  

and got this

pls i need help, i've been on this for weeks.

cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

the result is below:

[main]

plugins=ifupdown,keyfile



[ifupdown]

managed=false



[device]

wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

for the second command

cat /etc/network/interfaces  

The result is as follow:

/etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for 

ifup(8), ifdown(8)

 Generated by debian-installer.  



 The loopback interface

 auto lo

 iface lo inet loopback  

I also noticed that my computer do connect with the network that i use to set it up during installation whenever the network is available. Its a wireless network from my phone. But it won't even show the name of that network nor other networks. But my phone always tell me when the laptop connect with its hotspot. So i can't use any other WiFi network except one with that very name and password.
pls i need help
::,

Network manager was the problem, that thing made me suffer for 6 months. I solved this by running the following codes:

sudo apt-get install wicd



sudo service network-manager stop



sudo service wicd start
