No wireless driver for HP Notebook - 14-ac100na

[iankearns]

Had ongoing issue with Linux Mint on my HP Notebook - 14-ac100na where have never been able to get wireless network adapter to work. I have read on the Facebook page that this will be the last build with Cinnamon so do you think this will get resolved?

TIA

I don't think it will be the end of Cinnamon. Open terminal, enter

Code: Select all

lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net

Try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

Reboot, make sure you check UEFI/BIOS settings to make sure Secure Boot is disabled

Fixed. Many many thanks.

Looking forward to using Linux Mint.
