Well, I am a newbie on Linux, and I am trying out different distros. I like Peppermint, but it does not recognize the wi-fi on my Latitude E-6400. Can anyone please tell me in as simple a way as possible to to solve this issue ?

Firstly I want to tell you one thing Linux is very useful and much better than windows but it's very tough to use. I understand your problem because of the same problem I also face if you are interested you can simply take a help of Bitdefender update error I think your problem will be solved.

The diagnostic tools in this post should help, even if it's not a Broadcom chipset: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ux-4175434970/

Install the driver for your wifi card and reboot.

To find out what nic you have run:

Code:

lspci | grep -i network
