No change however- Would a reinstall do it ? Or is it just the problem with the specific wlan card ?

One of them (phy0) is hard blocked. On my machine, I have a switch that turns wifi off, and a "hard block" only occurs when I turn this switch to off. Do you have anything like this, or perhaps a key combination that turns wifi on or off?
Re your last question: I don't know if a reinstall would help or not. Did you check the md5sum of the iso before installation, and how did you install Mint?
Re: No wifi connectiion
Try
Reboot and see if wifi functions
Code: Select all
echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=4" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus_nb.conf

Shoot--I think you're right! I don't know why I didn't think about that; I worked on an Asus once with a similar problem.JeremyB wrote:TryReboot and see if wifi functionsCode: Select all

Re: No wifi connectiion
That did the trick. Thx both of you,
Can you explain what the line did ?
