Hi
just loaded up peppermint and running off of a CD
it doesnt seem like it is picking up any of the wireless networks that I have around me.
if someone could please help. I would appreciate it.
thank you
Can you open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and post the output from:
sudo lshw -C network
and
rfkill list
peppermint@peppermint ~ $ sudo lshw -C network

What happens if you run:
sudo rfkill unblock all
does wireless spring to life ?
if not, what’s the output from
rfkill list
again
Thanks for your help.
I went to visit this site and it gave me the instructions on how to resolve the issue.
