WIFI Failure W/Acer 7741

Post by malcolm1 »

Hey all.

New to LinuxMint and loving it already. However cannot seem to get wifi working. I checked another thread and did as much as I could but still no luck. Anyone want to help the newbie neo-tech.

Cheers, Malcolm

P.s. I know Acer is a piece of crap but when it is combined w/microsoft...well...I had enough. LOL :lol:

* Moved to Networking < Wireless forum from Software & Applications.

At the very minimum, you need to provide the make and model of the wireless card you are using.

You can find out with this command in terminal

Code: Select all

inxi -N
