A GUI for managing HW drivers?

Post by harshad1 »

Is there any way to manage HW drivers with a GUI in linux mint.

I just had this problem where my wireless refused to turn on - I knew that disabling and re-enabling the adapter would make it work but I couldn't find a way. Finally, I had to boot into windows and do it from there. Very annoying.

Is there any GUI way to do this in mint? I am sure there is a command line option out there.. (and that would be helpful too)

But it there any equivalent to the windows device manager in mint?

Try

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
or

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
then

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/networking start
I don't know of any graphical methods to do it, or even if that will work!
