I've been google'ng this issue for almost 2 weeks now.
I wiped my laptop of Windows and installed Linux Mint on hard drive. But I discovered I couldn't find a wifi connection.
The Driver Manager is empty. And I've updated the Update Manager.
I found a few posts on this forum looking for a solution, but those don't work for me (it could also be user error).
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'd like to not give up just yet, but I'm CLOSE to just using Ubuntu distro.
I have Mint Tessa 19.1 Cinnamon desktop.
