No wifi on new HP laptop (SOLVED)
I recently bought a new 2018 Newest HP Premium 15.6" Laptop. It came with Windows 10. I started it up to make sure everything worked. It did work. I removed Win 10 and installed Mint 18.3. That install went great until I unplugged the ethernet cable. No wifi. I also had no wifi from the DVD. That's why I had to use the ethernet cable.
I contacted the HP helpless desk. They told me since I replaced Win 10 with a Linux product, I violated my warranty with HP. But they would be happy to help me for a fee. No thanks.
I looked through this forum for answers and I came close. Now when i click on the network icon on the task bar it reads:
WIRED connected
WIRELESS unavailable
I couldn't get the WIRELESS phrase when I first installed Mint.
I have no idea where to go from here.
Help?

Re: No wifi on new HP laptop
I tried a couple of fixes on this forum and a couple from other help sites. I might have downloaded what you're asking about from one of those sites. As you can tell I'm still pretty new at this.

Re: No wifi on new HP laptop
I tried 4.4, no luck
I tried 410, no luck
I tried 4.13, no luck.
Should I take a sledgehammer to this HP and buy a Dell?

Re: No wifi on new HP laptop
Just use the 4.13 kernel. Make sure you are booted into it, then in terminal
Reboot and wifi should function
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install build-essential git dkms
git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8723de.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8723de
sudo dkms install rtl8723de/5.1.1.8_21285.20171026_COEX20170111-1414
