You need to provide technical information if you expect us to help you, see http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=1085

Ok, how are you trying to connect? In Mint you just need to click the network manager icon on the panel to see a list of networks seen then click the one you want. If you don't see any networks is the wireless switch on the laptop enabled? If it is in a terminal enter

Code: Select all

rfkill list
and if you see the wlan is blocked try

Code: Select all

sudo rfkill unblock all
.

If that doesn't work enter

Code: Select all

lsmod
and look through the output for acer-wmi. If it is there then try

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r acer-wmi
and see if this makes your wifi work?

If still no joy try setting your router to just wireless 'bg' as a test. You might also look at the output of

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep -e ath -e wlan
in case any errors are occurring?
