Ok will try not to be harsh Take at look at http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 11#p652018 for an answer.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.
“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.

Re: Wifi wont work hp compaq 6715b
Ok, it says the wifi is blocked - probably you need to turn on the wifi switch (which may be a "touch" button above the keyboard, or a physical switch at the front of the laptop). If that doesn't work, try using HP Wireless Assistant on Windows to enable wifi.

Re: Wifi wont work hp compaq 6715b
Did you perhaps install the Broadcom STA driver? That one often doesn't work on 4311/4312, and, it doesn't support using aircrack. Please run this to uninstall the driver, in case you installed it:
You were on the b43 driver and with that one it should work.
