Wifi Issues Macbook Pro (Solved)
Posted: Fri Oct 05, 2012 4:25 pm
Hi, everyone. I'm a linux newbie, running mint 13 kde. Only problem is I can't access my wifi connection. I've installed the b43-fwcutter package, but didn't work. I've tried entering the terminal commands I've found in other threads here, but haven't been able to get them to work. However I am a newbie so I could be doing things the wrong way. Here is my mintwifi output:

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service smbd reload
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd
