I have just installed linux mint cinnamon 13. Now I have to say I love it! But I can't connect to the internet.. ! I connected to a router in one place fine, that internet speed was in excess of 100mbps and was wonderful! Have just come home and now my linux mint won't connect to my home router...! I'm currently on windows 7 and this is absolutely fine, the internet is connected fine. I had this problem when I first installed ubuntu by running the following commands:
Code: Select all
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo rmmod -f ath9k
sudo modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=1
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
Code: Select all

Ah well, I really hope someone can help me in my plea! I'm very desperate, I can't wait to be able to continue using mint and start installing stuff!
All the best and any help would be much appreciated,
