the wifi chip that's in there. there are a few wifi chipsets that you<br>
can set up to automatically build drivers for (that just aren't included<br>
in the kernel). i had a broadcom chipset in my last laptop i had to do<br>
that for (using DKMS, see <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DKMS" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DKMS</a>).<br>
<br>
if he's running ubuntu, sometimes Software & Updates -> Additional<br>
Drivers can automatically do it for you, too. he'd probably need to use<br>
an ethernet cable to get things bootstrapped for that though.<br>
