Which version of Mint are you using?

The output of lspci (in terminal) will be helpful as well

I'm assuming that you have a wired connection.

You need to enter the following in a terminal window:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

That should take care of everything for you

Thanks so much! I had it wired using my desktop (which is also wireless) I could never get it to work and now it works! Thank you!!!
