I have a Dell Latitude D830 with a built in wifi adapter. I currently have a dual boot of Kali and Linux Mint. In Kali, I'm able to see and connect to wifi. In Mint I'm able to see and attempt to connect, however it always says the PW is wrong.
I know the PW isn't wrong. I've reset the router countless times. On the same machine I can connect if I boot on Kali. Only difference I've been able to see is when I run ip link show wlan0
on Mint I get:
$ ip link show wlan0
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:1b:77:01:66:cb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
and on Kali I get the same output except where it reads "state DOWN" it reads "state UP"
I've tried to manually ifconfig wlan0 up
and it seems to work but still lists the state as down no matter what I do.
Any suggestions!?
cat /etc/network/interfaces
on Mint?sudo ifdown wlan0
thensudo ifup wlan0
? Specifically, what is the output of the second command?sudo ifup wlan0
once you run it after you have run the first command.
