I allow myself to feel the rage. Every bit of it, for a count of three, then I have to stop. Because now it’s time to take action. And proper action requires a calm response. I used to try to breathe and relax but that usually just left me fuming for an hour. Instead I just get unfathomably angry for 2 seconds then move on. I don’t know how healthy it is but it works for me. Sort of the emotional equivalent of yelling out an expletive.

It’s probably a missing driver. You can boot into a live environment with Linux and download the driver from there if it recognizes it.

If it’s a fresh install it might be simpler to reinstall and make sure to check the box that allows for proprietary drivers to be installed if necessary.

You can also find out the model of your network card and then download the driver package on another PC and move it over on a flash drive.
