Long time I don't use Linux so bear with me.
I just installed Mint 20 and can't enable and connect to Wifi using my Lenovo G460 with Qualcomm Atheros AR9285.
I already tried a couple of things that I found on internet but to be honest I'm not sure what I'm doing.
I really appreciate your comment/suggestion/help.
I ran this code
