Wifi doesn't work, Network Unclaimed- Realtek

Post by LuxAeterna »

I just downloaded the most recent version of Linux Mint cinnamon 64 bit on my laptop. Everything works well except for my Wi-Fi card, It appears as "unclaimed". I've searched for a possible solution, it appears to be a driver issue. But no driver options seem to appear on Driver Manager. I want to know if i can "claim" the network making it possible to use the wifi card.
sudo lshw -C network
