I am trying to put Linux on an HP Pavilion All In One 20 that is a few years old. I suspect it could be a driver problem but I do not know how to even check with Linux for drivers or how to install drivers without an internet connection.
Any ideas?

network manager , /etc/network/interfaces , /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
there are several places to debug
how to install drivers without an internet connection.
live cd , clone it from other systems , download the driver to another disk .
like broadcom wireless drivers support variety of devices ...many network cards can work in linux if native driver is not exist
another option
