H.P LapTop Wifi Not Working

pat howard · Post by **pat howard** » Sun Jul 15, 2018 11:56 am

Hey,
I've got a H.P laptop with no Wi-Fi.
I've got internet but no Wi-Fi.
It got Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon 3.8.7
Can any one help me out. I can not pull over driver.
Can anyone give me the link to find Broadcom / Realtek Wi-Fi driver bcm43142
Thanks

Do you have the Update Manager, Synaptic Package Manager, or the Software manager open? Close them and try again

You must have had a typo somewhere, use touchpad or mouse to copy and paste the commands into terminal

BugGamer · Post by **BugGamer** » Sat Jul 21, 2018 3:14 am

I have a problem also with this but this time its been solved.

To enable the wifi, dont install any updates on the update manager.. Do the above procedure and it will work.
