First time Mint user here, dualbooting with Windows 8. Mint recognizes my home wifi network, but fails to connect. I'm convinced it's a software issue since everything works fine on Windows.
I've attached the output of mintwifi.py below, as instructed.
Let me know if there's any other info I can provide to help!
