Both Lubuntu and Peppermint work fine with a wired ethernet connection and provides full Internet connectivity. I have Comcast as my ISP and a Linksys 2000 wireless router - works fine for all the other computers and tablets I have in my home. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to get this laptop to recognize my wifi? Thanks, --Jerry in Michigan, USA
I have a page on troubleshooting wireless. It doesn't sound like the
router is the problem.
I have a page on at least checking if wireless works.

As Linux becomes more like Windows, one has
the same types of problem, things not working for no apparent reason.
