Try Auto-NDISwrapprer:

https://answers.launchpad.net/auto-ndiswrapprer

Download Auto-NDISwrapprer, and then follow the documentation.

Instructions:

Extract the dowloaded file
Place the folder Auto-NDIS-0.1 in your home directory
Open up a terminal and copy and paste the following command

Code: Select all

sudo python ~/Auto-NDIS-0.1/auto-ndis.py
or open up a terminal and then copy and paste

Code: Select all

su python ~/Auto-NDIS-0.1/auto-ndis.py
From that point on just follow directions and enjoy :)

To see options:
Just give it the -h flag

Code: Select all

python ~/Auto-NDIS-0.1/auto-ndis.py -h
--Dependencies:
NDISwrapper
Python (Your system most likely aready has it)
Some basic GNU tools your system most likely already has[/color]

Let us know if you have any success using Auto-NDISwrapprer. It is rather new so they may have a limited amount of wireless drivers. You will have to have a internet connection to use this, if you do not you will have to use your friends, neighbor or whatever.

If you need help, visit their forums:

If none of this works, then I would go to the Mint WiFi. There is good documentation here:

You should pm a moderator and have this thread moved to Networking, I am sure you will get more replies.

cheers,
BakUp

I've never tried auto-ndiswrapper. I have a small tutorial here to get it going: http://www.linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopi ... 49&t=13980
