I attempted to install LMDE on my E6520 Laptop last year and it worked great except I was unable to get the WiFi to work. I have the the Broadcom BCM43228 controller and I was wondering if this has been resolved ? If so can someone please point me in the right direction as to how to get it to work? Thanks.

I will look into it, but for now try starting with this page:
http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi
Hope you get it working soon!
Edit:
I found this link off the last link I posted:
http://wiki.debian.org/wl. This seems to be what you need to know. It might need slightly adapted for mint. If you are not familiar with network interfaces be sure to checkout the

I downloaded the latest ISO and this one comes with the "Device Driver Manager" Worked great for my video drivers AND the WiFi.
I installed the MATE version on my laptop and so far so good. Is it just me or does this distro seem a lot faster than normal Mint with MATE and/or cinnamon?
Ether way, I like this distro, thanks.
