Linux newbie here. I have just installed Deepin on a Dell Precision m-90. 80 G hardrive, 3 gigs ram. Since the install I have no network capabilities. I connected ethernet and the control panel is set to auto connect but states "no connection" Also wireless card does not show up.
Checked setup and it states wireless card is enabled, however when using the FN F2 to enable the wireless card will not show up as enabled. Reset bios defaults.
I tried several terminal commands like "lshw and rfkill" but anything I try it states it is not installed. Of course when I try to download any packages it fails sue to lack of connection. It seems I cannot run the simplest of commands because many are not installed and of course I cannot install them. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't know the chipset but it is a dell wiireless 1390 wlan mini card. Broadcom
The commands you want the output of (as root) are:
lspci
lsusb
You may need to put 'sudo' in front of each of those. If you still get this, reinstall, because it sounds like you didn't finish the install. It should install, and then set up.
This a NIC driver issue, please execute the following command in terminal:
nmcli dev
nm-tool
rfkill list all
sudo lshw -C network
lspci -vvnn | grep -i net
if your problem has been solved by the above operation, please execute the command
Thanks for all your help. I was still not able to get the wireless card working. Also I noticed that Fedora has brought my system to a crawl. It has never ran so slow. I then downloaded linux-mint 17.1. The machine runs much faster. I still cannot get the broadcom wireless working however I did find a Cisco wireless usb card and it recognized it right away. I would still like to get my internal wireless working.
Yes I have gone through that whole process. I'm not sure what to do after that though. I look in driver manager and see nothing related to the wireless card. There must be something else I need to do.

I did not know that Linux Mint was Debian based? Here is what I get.
tolkon@tolkon-Precision-M90 ~ $ deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
No command 'deb' found, did you mean:
Command 'dab' from package 'bsdgames' (universe)
Command 'deb3' from package 'quilt' (main)
Command 'xdeb' from package 'xdeb' (universe)
Command 'dwb' from package 'dwb' (universe)
Command 'debc' from package 'devscripts' (main)
Command 'debi' from package 'devscripts' (main)
Command 'derb' from package 'icu-devtools' (main)
deb: command not found
I see.
Anything with apt-get etc is inclined to be debian based originally (just guessing here).
Obviously the command deb doesn't exist on your system. you may not need to configure for non free.
Well this is what has happened every time I have installed Linux. Fedora was the only distro that recognized my wireless card but it brought my system to a crawl. I am happy with Mint except for this. What should be my next course of action?
Thanks for your help.
It would be nice if the thing sat up first time. It didn't. Get the finger out and MAKE it work. Try this commend
Code:
which b43-fwcutter
If you have it, good. If you don't download & make it. Go carefully & slowly through the wireless.kernel.org link I gave you a few posts ago. By the end it will be working.
Well I'm not sure what was supposed to happen. Here is the result"
tolkon@tolkon-Precision-M90 ~ $ which b43-fwcutter
/usr/bin/b43-fwcutter
tolkon@tolkon-Precision-M90 ~ $ which b43-fwcutter
/usr/bin/b43-fwcutter
tolkon@tolkon-Precision-M90 ~ $
