No Wireless Adapater on HP Notebook HP 14-ac100na

[iankearns]

Currently using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and wifi adapter installs fine but nothing on Linux Mint which I would like to move to. If LM is built on Ubuntu then doesnt it have the same driver set?

Any help is appreciated

a. Please generate an overview of your system like this:
- Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window);
- make the terminal window full screen, to avoid chopped lines;
- Copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter)

Press Enter.

Copy/paste the output in your next message.

b. Do the same with the following three commands:

Code: Select all

rfkill list all

and:

Code: Select all

iwconfig

and:

Code: Select all

inxi -Nn
