Will it work


Hi, new to Linux but like it so far. I'm using Linux Mint, the latest distro and everything works perfectly. My question...will Mint work with a mobile hot spot, MiFi or similar without any special drivers?, so far everything I have needed to do was contained within the Mint package.. thanks for any help.

Joe

Connect to a mobile hot spot? Sure, with the assumption that the computer physically has WIFI.

If you find that this is not working or need assistance, then follow up with additional descriptions of your hardware as well as what you have tried.
