Well maybe that's one thing I can't complain about.ĭoing some search in the mint forums, i also learned about the 'mintwifi' command, which i gave on the terminal. It says 'unable to see if hardware is present', but when i click ok, it says Hardware present : yes. I installed the windows drivers found on the cd. I read this is some 'ndiswrapper' program. I also found the program resting under mintmenu > administration > windows wireless drivers. In fact, i am quite proud of myself that I even discovered those commands. Please bear in mind that i am a total noob.

I read something about a command named lsusb. Just some other users asking how to make it work, without any useful answers. I checked on the manufacturer site, and all over the web, but no references about linux issues. The instruction manual has installation instructions only for windows, nothing about linux. However, there is nothing like a driver for linux. It was the same in windows, but when i installed the driver found on the cd, it came to life and is working normally. The led does not flash, the systems seems to totally ignore it. I connect it into a usb port, but nothing happens. The adapter is a TP-LINK TL-WN722N, with Atheros chipset. I connected it and, what a surprise, it wasn't compatible. Proof on that is, i bought a wireless usb network adapter, without first checking if it is compatible with linux. I have been using linuxmint for several months but i still consider myself a noob.
