I just recently installed Elyssa and everything works except the wireless. The network manager icon is present, I can see all the wireless networks in range, and I can even connect to my wireless router (only sometimes), but even when I'm connected I can't browse in firefox. I tried downloading the windows drivers and using ndiswrapper, but when I did that it caused a kernel panic on boot, even when trying recovery mode, so I had to reinstall. Is there anything I'm missing here? I've tried searching for a solution online but nothing I've tried has worked. Here's the output of mintwifi: (I had ethernet plugged in at the time)
