I am very new to Linux, so bear with me. I am running a recently-installed Linux Mint 17 from a flash drive. I see that this is a common problem, but I still can't connect to Wi-Fi. My wireless card is Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 61) and /lib/firmware seems to have the appropriate files.
The output from iwconfig is
Code:
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
lo no wireless extensions.
Could you also include the results of these commands?
Code:
lspci -nnk | grep -i net -A2
Code:
lsmod
Code:
rfkill list
Code:
sudo lshw -C network
Disclaimer: Be careful with the last command especially, as it will essentially allow root access to your system. Mistakes could possibly damage or even destroy your OS.
Also, what are some of the solutions have you tried already, if any?
Thanks for the reply. I looked at the drivers required by my card at https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/...rivers/iwlwifi with my kernel version 3.19+. However, the files already appear to be in the firmware folder.
Next I looked at my driver manager, but it only showed the three options under NVIDIA Corporation: nvidia 352, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, and nvidia-352-updates.
I looked around for terminal commands to automatically update drivers, but I am too new to all of this to find what I needed.
rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Hmm. By any chance, does this command free things up...
Code:
rfkill unblock all
If not, please post the results of...
Code:
dmesg | grep -iC 3 "wlan0"
or...
Code:
dmesg | grep -iC 3 "iwlwifi"
Thanks!
Do you think the soft block showing "yes" is the problem? (Again, sorry I'm so new at this). I used to think my drivers were the problem, but when I run "nm-tool" I see that it recognizes the driver "iwlwifi" which is correct for my wireless card.
I ran "rfkill unblock all" but got the same results for "rfkill list."
Here are the results you wanted.
Code:
dmesg | grep -iC 3 "wlan0"

Do you think the soft block showing "yes" is the problem? (Again, sorry I'm so new at this). I used to think my drivers were the problem, but when I run "nm-tool" I see that it recognizes the driver "iwlwifi" which is correct for my wireless card.
Well, it's showing there is a problem.
Take a look at the post by "JeremyB" here. Does installing this package (and then rebooting) resolve the issue...

Well, I'm running the OS off a live USB, so I believe everything is reset when I reboot. The firmware install informed me that everything was already up to date, so I went ahead and installed the package. The wireless switch in my tool bar still keeps turning off every time I turn it on. Here is the resulting text file created by the package install:

Well, I'm running the OS off a live USB, so I believe everything is reset when I reboot.
Ok, yes, that's makes a big difference. You're correct, everything is reset when you reboot. Unfortunately, I don't know how to help you beyond this point. My suggestion would be to install Mint to your hard drive, if at all possible.

Reading the information provided by OP shows that eth0 has a IP & proper kernel route table. Do you have the cable plugged in to active network? It seems the IP is via DHCP assignment '192.168.1.34' ?
You could try the static IP route. First do as root from console a 'ifconfig eth0 down' then do a 'ifconfig wlan0 up'. You could then use available IP like '192.168.1.10' by 'ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.10' then create the kernel route with 'route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0' then do a 'route -n' to show the kernel route table. If you do a 'ifconfig -a' you should see assigned IP to wlan0.

I like to use third level DNS for my '/etc/resolv.conf';
You only need one but fallback should be no more than four DNS nameservers.
To check the network out you can do;
Code:
ping 216.58.192.174 #googles IP, to check if you do have network working with proper route
ping google.com #to see if nameserver is working
Example;
Code:

You can do a 'man command' for each of the above commands to understand options.
I do static IP on all my systems to check out a new network to confirm a working network. Once you have a confirmed network then the use of 'dhcp' should be doable when you set things properly.
All the above was from memory and hopefully presented properly for a old Gnu/Linux user. I still need to use references material to get things done. Repeated work gets done easily but when I question myself then references are used as is intended by authors.
