wifi not detected

Post by roshii-nimbus »

I have recently migrated from windows 10 to linux mint cinnamon. Since installation (about 2 days ago), my comp has been unable to detect any wifi networks in my area. I deactivated SecureBoot in the BIOS. I cannot seem to find any resolution. I input the command inxi -ixxzc0 and this was the result http://dpaste.com/2KPAGM9. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you.

Try starting a new topic at viewforum.php?f=53
If you see EFI variables are not supported on this system that means Secure Boot is not an issue as you are using a Legacy boot not UEFI
