hello
I'm new here and I'm new to Linux. Can you please help me?
last week I've installed Linux Mint 14 Nadia Mate 32 bit on my new Asus Eee PC 1015BX netbook. I've chosen this system after reading a bunch of articles on web. Everything is running great, except that my wifi is down. The wireless function on a bottom bar is inactive saying that "wireless is disabled". And yes, I've checked if the keyboard button and the controll light is on.
Can you please help me run my wifi? What's strange, first time when I runned my computer after installing the system the wifi was working. Then it was dead.
this may help

Re: no wi-fi on Asus Eee PC 1015BX netbook - mint 14 nadia
@ Jungle_boy: You are installing a very old driver version, 2.6.33, here. If you are installing a driver, then you should rather take one which is newer than the one you are using right now. Mint 14 has the 3.5 kernel, so anything under 3.5 does not make sense. 2.6.33 is three years old.

Hi Albert,
I suddenly had the same problem after a few weeks of pleasant use of Linuxmint. I suppose some driver is not recognized since the last update. It look like I have no wireless hardware on my eee pc. I even reinstalled Mint.
I attached dmesg and lspci if it can help.
Thanks

@ Daniel B.: Please open a new topic instead of re-using somebody else's topic about the Eee PC. You indeed have no wifi adapter in your lspci.
