Post by jbh911 »

What is the process to sort out why LM 16 can´t recognize a 3G broadband dongle?

I hate to disappoint you, but Mint 16 is obsolete for over 6 months now and therefore no longer supported and maintained. Unless you don't want to upgrade and still want to use Mint 16, there's no reason to provide you with any solution for Mint 16.

Mint 17 and Mint 13 are both still maintained and supported due to the reason that both versions are so-called LTS versions, meaning: Long Term Support:
  • Linux Mint 17: supported up and till april 2019
  • Linux Mint 13: supported up and till april 2017
Mint 13 is more or less meant for somewhat older systems while Mint 17 can run smoothly on newer systems.

In this >> thread << you can find useful info about upgrading to Mint 17. It can also be, when upgrading to Mint 17, that your problem could be fix too.


I also noticed that you didn't provided sufficient information about your system so we can provide you with the best help we can give you. Next time, please comply to the forum rules and especially rule # 5 to provide as much detailed info as possible when posting a question.
