I am coming from Windows 7 and I am completely new to Linux mint. Everything is working except the dang wireless usb dongle.
The driver install script that came on the install disk did not work so i went on the software manager and found one.
This is the name of the driver I installed instead: rtl8192ue-dkms.
Best i can tell is the driver is installed but i cant get it to work correctly. I have read about this on the net for a longer period of time than i would like to admit and i cant figure this out. If anyone has any suggestions i could try to make this thing work i would appreciate it.
This is the lsusb results:
