Issues connecting to wi-fi (solved)

Post by acasualtourist »

I have an Asus x555l. I followed the directions to install the driver for my wireless card, the MEDIATEK Corp. MT7630e 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter and it has shown up. But when I try to connect it attempts for 30 seconds or so and then stops. I've tried a couple different keys for the WEP and that didn't help. I can connect through my ethernet connection. Here is some info. If you need more just ask.

Thanks in advance.

I installed Linux Mint on an ASUS X555LB-NS51 today. The wireless network card was not working for me either. After a bit of searching I found this tutorial which worked for me: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1796
