I'm trying to figure out how to enable wireless. When i boot from the live cd, it shows both wired and wireless disabled. I know the hardware switch hasn't been tripped off. Also, if i boot with any other version, xfce, kde, mate, the network connections are available. Only with LMDE I have this issue. The hardware for each is as follows:
wired: Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit
wireless: Intel Centrino Wireless-N+WiMAX 6150
Lenovo V570
I've been using Mint for about a year and yes, still a noob. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'd really like to continue to use LMDE.

Re: wireless disabled
Check the firmware list in synaptic and make sure the ones with intel in their name are installed.

Re: wireless disabled
I cannot install it from synaptic because of no internet connection. However, I was able to download "microcode-20090330.tgz" from Intel's website on another computer. I copied it to my lmde system, extracted the file, but...the only file present is "microcode-20090330.dat". I have no clue what to do with that...
