No WiFi - Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64 Bit on Dell DM061
Fresh install of Mint 18.3 on a Dell pc. There is no wifi. I tried the last suggestion in this link but it has not worked viewtopic.php?f=53&t=267324. Any suggestions?

Many thanks both of you for paying attention to this. @jeremyb - I followed method one in your link and it produced the attached text:
If you could interpret that it would be very much appreciated. This PC is second hand and I do not know for certain that it was ever wifi enabled.
