Turn on wifi Linux Mint 19 Tara


I've just done a fresh install of Linux Mint 19 Tara on this old laptop. I had the wifi working in the past but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to work again. I tried selecting the only wifi driver in Driver Manager but that didn't work. I also did a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y" before all of this.

See attached for more info on my system.

Never mind, apparently all I had to do was unplug the ethernet cable and restart the machine and blamo.

It's now working.

Linux is a different animal....I like it...
