No wifi card?

IwannaSlack · 04-12-2014, 04:05 PM

So here is the thing my wifi card has been buggy at times even on windows but it always worked. Everything seems to be working well with suse and I am liking it Windows sucked on my laptop so I was playing around with what distro I want to make a home with. Right now I really really enjoy suse except now I have to be connected to a LAN and I can't see my wifi card at all. Its like I don't have one.

I had a similar problem with the Broadcom card in my laptop with Mint 13 x64. When I tried the 32 bit version instead it worked. It's the driver I think.

seems like you need to be root to run the programs I previously posted.
