Wifi is not working on Linux Mint 19

Post by aelsherif »

Hello, I've seen a lot of threads about the issue, but none seem to work for me.
I've just installed Mint 19 on an HP device and am dual booting alongside windows 10, bluetooth is working while wifi isn't.
There are no drivers available in the Driver Manager
Here are some of the information I've seen requested:

iwconfig:

lo        no wireless extensions.

sudo apt-get install dkms git build-essential
git clone -b extended https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi_new
sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6
sudo cp -r rtlwifi_new/firmware/rtlwifi/ /lib/firmware/rtlwifi
echo "options rtl8723de ant_sel=2" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723de.conf
Check mokutil --sb-state
If it says Secure Boot is enabled you will need to disable in BIOS after reboot

Thank you for your reply. I'm afraid nothing happened after these steps and reboot.

You need to go into BIOS and disable Secure Boot, but leave Secure Boot keys alone
