Can't connect to wifi on Live CD Mint 14
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 11:07 pm
Hello, I've read the post and have the same problem, except I have different outputs when I ran the commands on Terminal.
(I am running Linux Mint 14 (Nadia) w/Cinnamon btw on a LiveUSB and trying to install, asking for internet connection before anything btw)
(Also apologies beforehand for the lack of indentation, I had to type this all out haha)
input:
iwconfig
output:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
input:
sudo lshw -C network
output:

From reading the thread I see that the Broadcom brand has something to do with my LiveUSB not being able to connect wirelessly.
I am installing LinuxMint on my netbook and don't have a cd/dvd drive, any help would be deeply appreciated!!!
