[SOLVED] Wifi Unavailable.

Post by omar12aladawy »

I have been using Linux mint 18.3 for quite sometime now and it has been working fine when suddenly out of the blue the wifi stopped working, when enabled just gives me unavailable. I read a ton of forums but nothing seems to work.
here are some code snippets
