what do you mean with scanning?
a basic tool is linnsid, you can find it in software manager or iwscanner (google search for it)

hi!

i dont found them in the Packet system:

Code: Select all

[127]thinkpad201t david # aptitude search iwscanner
thinkpad201t david # aptitude search linnsid 
it doesn't matter.
Linux mint is a nice Distribution- but i need WLAN for my Laptop, and i think it is a BUG that
a standart Laptop like the Tinkpad with the Centrino WLAN Hardware dont Work in Mint...

Maybe i should use the Ubuntu Based Mint?

First i will try to run my old TP-Link Wlan Stick... maybe its possible to use this for a Workarround

but, thank you for help annyway..

Hi PatH57,

apologies for the 'radio silence' (ho ho), and this is in reply to my last post, rather than attempting to comment on user Schorfly's similar sounding (?) issues.

As mentioned in last post, I decided to 're-image'. Tested out LM17 on a USB and it worked fine (incl WiFi), so I took the plunge.

Used the Method 3 as discussed here ( viewtopic.php?f=46&t=168017) and it seemed to go without a hitch. On re-creating users with same name, the files and everything seem to be back in place without need to restore from backup. The WiFi is working as it should.

Many thanks for your help, although we didn't get to the bottom of the issue, I am extremely appreciate of the time and expertise you deployed to support me.

I've suggested to my daughter who will use the laptop, to keep the WiFi hardware switch left permanently on and use the software switch if needed to turn the WiFi off.

Cheers
