        When starting & playing with it, use a VM. We don't want this to happen (https://xkcd.com/349/)—

                  @Joyfano VirtualBox gives an area to play with different OS and configurations. Such as, CentOS guest while using the preferred MInt host. Similarly, can explore Ubuntu, Knoppix, Kali, Backtrack, or other distro. And! Break them. Snapshot to go back-forth with changes. All sorts of goodness.

                      Maybe a driver is missing.

                            Is the wired port working?

                            Assuming this is the Mint/Linux box, launch Terminal and type "ifconfig -a". Looking for a "wlan0" (probably) if the wireless is installed as hoped.

                                  With the exact model we might be able to track down drive information.

                                      Great post - this has motivated me to jump in the water with you Joy. I'm gonna start my Nix/Nux adventure and with setting up a media server at my house. I'm lucky to have some pretty strong hardware (a Dell 4U Rack Mount Server) to install on. @roguepacket - thanks for all the links above!
