Problem with Wireless Network on Linux Mint - HELP!

[david.linux]

Hi,

I just installed Linux mint on my Asus X202E. Everything works fine unless the Wireless network... I have tried to activate it through the built in "Driverupdate" software.. I have tried to download driver via the terminal... but it wont start...

Do anyone have advice what to do with this???

Best regards
David

Please generate an overview of your system like this:
- launch a terminal window and make it full screen, to avoid chopped lines;
- copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter)

Press Enter.

Copy/paste the output in your next message.

@bingjalz: you have an RTL8192CU wireless chipset. This should improve things a lot for you:
