I've been tackling this day two now. I recently dual booted Linux Mint on my Windows 10 machine. When I installed it, the wifi driver did not seem to be installed. I can only connect via ethernet cable. I've tried various methods of installing the driver.
iwconfig
gives me
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
Whenever I open driver manager, it just updates the cache and downloads packages then displays a blank screen once finished.
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
does not install anything, and says that b43-fwcutter is already the newest version but alas, still no wifi capabilities.
lspci -nn | grep 0280 :
gives me
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:3165] (rev 79)
I checked the manufacture website and it has my wireless adapter listed as a 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.0, Dual Band 2.4&5 GHz, 1x1
At some point I kind of just went on a copy & paste frenzy on various forums so I don't really remember what else I tried.
my mind is drawing blanks as to what to try next. Any suggestions?
