what to do or install
_____________________________________________________________
Soulutions to wirless SOLVED HERE:
Thx to Laurent85 For tutorial of codes , NOT thx to pjotor for injustice.
1. Mount linuxmint disk (it can be usb cs dvd or virtual)
2. Go to your disk (explorer) goto "pool" folder an install every update ".deb" file
3. Go to your Control Penal > Startup items > uncheck all apllications THAN Check only "NET CONNECTIONS" or someting like that
4. Reboot
5. Enjoy with wirless network

First check package bcmwl-kernel-source is not installed before going ahead

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet
Your ethernet card has no internet connexion, you need an internet connexion active, next command will download and install missing firmware for your card.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer
Reboot.

It is not the first time a user report having issues with hp wireless. Wireless light should be blue, not orange, last time i read about this issue, the user could only properly power on wireless hardware through windows. It seemed an hp special feature to power on wireless only running windows. Guess who's to blame :roll:

Well, someone whose computer I maintain, has a brand new HP laptop running Mint 17.2 on the 3.19.0-23 kernel. The wireless light is orange, but wireless works anyway.

She can even disable and re-enable the wireless chipset by means of the Fn key for it: that works fine too, although the light remains orange all the time.

In Windows 8.1 the light becomes white when wireless is on, so Mint doesn't have it right for 100 %. Also the Fn keys for changing the brightness work in reverse in Mint. But she can live with all that. :mrgreen:
