Wireless connection?

[sastusbulbas]

OK I have Mint, but I cannot seem to get it to connect to the internet? I have both Ubuntu and Mint on this as dual boot.

I have wireless, used it with Ubuntu, but is there some sort of driver or such I have to install or update? And if so how do I do such without an internet connection?

Sounds like you need to install a proprietary wireless driver. Of course to do this you will need to initially connect via an ethernet cable to allow Mint to download the required driver.
Then > Mint Menu> Control Centre> Hardware Drivers...to enable the new driver.

that is a pain, as it means unplugging the pc, monitor, keyboard, and mouse then taking them downstairs where I will have to sit it all in front of the tv and pull out my wireless router to fit the cable.

Cant I just download a file and stick it on a usb and install it ? I am here on the same PC dual booted with Ubuntu on the same HDD connected to the internet via wireless?

It would be helpful if you could state the exact make and model of the wireless card.
