I tried to install Mint 14 cinamon on my laptop [it's an Acer V3-571] & it's not giving me any wifi connections at all. It doesn't even recognise my house's network. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Hi gordilocks and welcome to Mint,

Could you go to a terminal and type the following command and list the output here
then I'll try to help

Code: Select all: lspci

okay i'll do that just now
& i probably should have mentioned i'm only running it off a live USB because there's no internet access so i didn't actually install it

EDIT: how am i meant to give you the results w/ no internet access :s

ok do you know what wireless card is in your machine and can you temporarily hook up to the net with an Ethernet cable?

it's not going to do us much good unless you'll be able to get a hardwire connection. because the drivers you need will have to be installed from the net.
sorry.
