Right now I'm using a WiFi adapter and I also have a wired connection but I want to get the WiFi working as it should, this is what I get when I run that command:


Code: [Select]
Network:   Card-1: Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY driver: b43-pci-bridge
           IF: N/A state: N/A mac: N/A
           Card-2: Realtek RTL8101/2/6E PCI Express Fast/Gigabit Ethernet controller driver: r8169
           IF: em1 state: down mac: c8:0a:a9:71:a6:ff
           Card-3: Belkin F7D1101 v1 Basic Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188SU] driver: r8712u
           IF: wlan0 state: up mac: ec:1a:59:bf:d3:b4

And when I search for Wireless drives in the Installed drivers menu there's nothing listed

Thanks so much

Hi,

First simple thing to check...
Click on Menu and type Driver
Click on Install Drivers
Does it offer an alternative Driver to try..??


If that does not help, In a terminal, please supply the results of:
Code: [Select]
inxi -nThat will help identify the network H/W & Status
