What kernel are you using

Code: Select all

uname -a
I found a patch for that module that might eliminate the problem

Do you use any other of those access points?

Hope there is something in the above thread.
Wendy is getting rich on my beer tab so I'll close off here and head back to the boat.
I'll be in touch tomorrow.

And a big thank you, Jeremy....

Download https://www.dropbox.com/s/yhwwf3s1b3zxi ... ar.gz?dl=0
Transfer it to your LM desktop, right click and choose extract here
Then open terminal

Code: Select all

cd Desktop

Code: Select all

sudo cp /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/wl.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/wl.ko.bak

Code: Select all

sudo cp wl.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/wl.ko
The first sudo command saves a backup of the original module just in case, the second copies the one downloaded to replace it
Then we unload and reload the module

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r wl

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe wl
See if it connects. If nothing else it might be worth swapping the wifi card with the one in the windows machine

Sorry, a little confused by the link. Downloaded wl.ko4.4-21.tar.gz · 2.7 MB

Is this right?

That driver is bigger than most. Compare it to what you have as it should be in /lib/modules/4.4.0-21-generic/updates/dkms and check the properties for wl.ko

Re: No WIFI, like others

Sorry Jeremy. You shot right over my head with that one. So wl.ko4.4-21.tar.gz · 2.7 MB is not the one you wanted? I saved it to my memory stick but won't touch anything until I hear from you.

Now. What is it you want me to do?

Thanks,

I have three commands here, I believe. Do I enter them individually?
And is that a Dollar Sign on line two?

cd Desktop
sudo cp /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/wl.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/wl.ko.bak
sudo cp wl.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/wl.ko

Re: No WIFI, like others

Okay. Took a chance and dumped all three commands into the terminal.

Here's what I got. If that looks right, I'll continue on to the the next step.

Thanks Jeremy....

Re: No WIFI, like others

Post by I2k4 »

Can't say I read everything above, but the very first thing to do with Mint 18 all versions is to update the Network Manager - if there's no wifi out of the box do it with ethernet connection. It's Ubuntu's fault and wasn't apparently caught by the Mint developers before the final releases. The Network Manager should be updated to version 1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 - the preinstalled version causes all kinds of wifi recognition problems depending on particular hardware - the new version cured problems on my three machines that had never had a wifi problem before.

Hope this helps
TRUST BUT VERIFY any advice from anybody, including me. Mint/Ubuntu user since 10.04 LTS. LM20 64 bit XFCE (Dell 1520). Dual boot LM20 XFCE / Win7 (Lenovo desktop and Acer netbook). Testing LM21.1 Cinnamon and XFCE Live for new Lenovo desktop.

Thanks Jeremy. Let me go to work on this. I'm working between two computers and a stick. Slow going, not to mention frustrating.

No ethernet connection, either.

It appears you are trying to execute a file
Please just copy the text from the file and use ctrl + alt + v to paste them into terminal

That would be easy with internet. Give me some time here and I'll try again but all done in for today.

Thanks, Jeremy...

If you want to use a file with commands in it as a script, save as a normal text file in windows, then transfer it to your home directory in LM, open the file and make the first line be

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
Save and exit the editor, then make the file executable with

Code: Select all

chmod +x {your files name}
or you can right click on it and file manager, go into properties/permissions/and put a checkmark next to allow to execute as a program. Then in terminal you can execute by typing the file's name preceded by ./ so if your file's name is sudocommands.txt you would use

Code: Select all

./sudocommands.txt
