Re: iwlwifi driver not loaded

get the dongle working again, but mess up the card. Exactly. Unless you try a later kernel version; that is Mint 20.2, it will be one or the other. Either the internal Intel OR the USB but not both. Frankly, the Intel should outperform any USB so I'd stick with it. If you try a live session of 20.2...

Re: WIFI is connected but no internet

sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/Networkmanager/conf.d/*
It is supposed to be:

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i 's/3/2/'  /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*
That is, with a capital M in Manager. Please try again.

May we see:

Code: Select all

ping -c3 8.8.8.8
ping -c3 www.google.com
ls -al /etc/resolv.conf

Re: No ethernet connection

Awesome! I'm glad it's working. You might check to see if you have any spurious hosts-jjaa files. If so, please remove it or them. Be very careful to not touch your correct, now working /etc/hosts. Check: ls /etc/ | grep host You should see: ghostscript host.conf hostname hosts hosts.allow hosts.den...

Re: No ethernet connection

I'm not sure I completely understand. Is your hostnam jjaa now properly shown in /etc/hosts? Does it match exactly /etc/hostname?

Is your ethernet working?

Code: Select all

ping -c3 www.google.com
Or are you now having trouble with clonezilla? Please clarify.

Re: No ethernet connection

In Mint 18.3, I believe that resolv.conf should be a link, not an actual file. I suggest that you do:

Code: Select all

sudo rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
Reboot and tell us if the issue is resolved (ha! ha! ha!).

Test:

Code: Select all

ping -c3 8.8.8.8
ping -c3 www.google.com

Re: Wifi no longer works

up to now I've never had issues with wifi. Would you happen to have any idea why all of sudden I didn't have the required package? Could that sort of thing happen when performing updates for instance? For future reference, if I happen to run into the same problem ... I haven't any idea. Strange thi...

Re: Wifi no longer works

The correct driver for your device is wl provided by bcmwl-kernel-source. Is the module loaded?

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep wl
If not, load it:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe wl
Is the package installed at all?

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -s bcmwl-kernel-source
Once we know more details, we'll proceed.
