Hi,
I have successfully installed the latest Linux Mint for the very first time on an old (2001) Gateway 600 laptop. I still have my old Windows XP on this too.
I cannot figure out how to get the wireless connection to work (to connect to my home router).
I have tried installing my only "INF" file (WLLUC48.INF) using the "Control Center" application, "Windows Wireless Drivers". In there it say "Hardware present: No".
I believe I have "WaveLAN/IEEE" (Agere) wireless hardware.
Would anyone be willing to help me understand why and how wireless drivers should work in Linux? This is frustrating to someone who know Unix well but can't seem to figure out what Linux is doing wrong.
Thank you!
Steve
