HELP!!! I have no wireless!!!
Hi everyone, I am a Linux Novice, I have an hp laptop pavilon dv6000 special edtion with 4 gigs of ram and a procesor amd x2 thurion 64 mobile technology TL-58.
It had windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits. Now I formatted and installed Linux Mint 14(Nadia) xfce 64 bits.
When I started linux mint with the cd, I then clicked on "install linux mint" then I got a little bit worried when i saw that I had no internet conection; that was a recomendation besides of having 6 gbs of available hard disk space and all that stuff, but i saw i had no internet conection, then I said to myself, "ok, i will continue anyway, i hoped that after instaliing the operating system it would had fixed.
I finally Formatted my laptop and installed linux mint14, but i see now that I´m still without wifi, then I conected my laptop with a cable and tried updating everything in the update manager, but after that still no solution found, i am still without wifi, when i activate it in my laptop is still with the red light not blue.
So Please Can someone help me fix this.
Thanks

Assuming you have a wired connection paste this into a terminal
Might be worth a reboot after
Code: Select all

I have a Laptop HP Pavilion G6-2240sq cu procesor Intel® CoreTM i7-3632QM 2.20GHz, Ivy Bridge, 6GB, 750GB, AMD Radeon HD 7670M 2GB and just like bereal i have windows 7 and i installed linux mint 14, 64 bit, and not wireless. I did however do all this about the terminal and installing, i installed in software center anything related to my wireless, in synaptic also and nothing works. I am a bit frustrated. I try to go to network settings and configure my wireless but it's not in bold so when i click the wireless nothing happens. If i have a connection by internet cable it works fine, but wireless is dead and gone....laptop is new and i have no more ideas.
Please give me some advice...

Re: HELP!!! I have no wireless!!!
A quick google tells me there are issues with your device

I'd probably look at installing the necessary build packages and getting the firmware form Ralink http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_download ... php?sn=501
