What is the model of your laptop?
-
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.
-
@scottalanmiller I don't remember the model. I have to check it later if I am home:(
-
@RoguePacket I am not sure if its already working. ill let you know soon.
Thank you for the information. -
With the exact model we might be able to track down drive information.
-
@scottalanmiller will do it tonight. looking forward to go home early.

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!

That's great @bob-beatty you are going to love the UNIX world.
