as you can see there is no Wifi device listed (as far as i know)

I CAN connect to the internet wirelessly via my modem hence this post.

I want to check my network for holes and i need to activate and firstly find my wifi device - I know its in here somewhere - please help me....

I don't have a CB but when you activate Linux on CB you are activating a container which should be isolated from the hardware. You should check here:

And here:

However it seems that exist issues exactly with the network:

1) Have you installed aircrack-ng?

Airmon-ng is included in the aircrack-ng package and is used to enable and disable monitor mode on wireless interfaces.

2) Do you have a separate USB Wireless dongle fitted? One wireless card will work your computer, the other wireless dongle will work aircrack/airmon.

3) What is the make and model of your chromebook?
