I have been having great success with Mint 14 Nadia. But, I had to replace my usb wireless adapter today. Nadia will not recognize the new one, ergo, no internet.
I bought a Netgear N300 USB Wireless Adapter.
I have run mintWiFi and here are the results.
john@linuxmint ~ $ sudo /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/mintWifi.py

Any suggestions?
