According to a great article on (this is a good source of news for electronic projects including Kali Linux, Wireless Security, KODI, SDR, Raspberry Pi, How-To- information, Reviews, Guides and Tutorials) on popular chipsets, called “ Top Best Linux Compatible USB Wireless Adapters“, you have to look for Wi-Fi adapters with one of the following chipsets: Ralink 3070, Ralink RT5572, Atheros AR9271, and Realtek 8187.īased on the analysis of the writer of the above mentioned article, and the analysis I did myself on lots of the reviews on Amazon and other websites, containing user experiences on some specific adapters, I can say that below adapters should be good options to solve your wireless problems.

Therefore it is almost impossible to come up with good generic advice to solve problems with respect to specific adapters. This could be a kind of an issue as many articles on the internet proves that there are still a lot of problems with Wi-Fi adapters getting to work in Linux. But there is a chance that you have a wireless adapter in your system for which this approach is not working.

The above approach should be working for a lot of other wireless adapters as well, as more and more adapters are supported out of the box by included driver software. But what if it doesn’t? What if you still can’t bring your Wi-Fi back to life Of course the above example is based on my old macBook and the hardware in it, so in your specific case the above steps will hopefully show the right driver for your device. The operating system should now be restarted and Wi-Fi on this machine will then work perfectly. In the case of my macBook it did.Ĥ) Under Broadcom Corporation, select bcmwl-kernel-source for the recommended option. Here hopefully a driver for your wireless adapter will be available.

So the solution for me and probably for a lot of other devices is simple: if you have the opportunity to temporarily make a wired internet connection, then this issue can be solved within a few minutes by going through the below steps in Linux Mint.ġ) Connect your computer via a network cable.Ģ) Open the applications menu in Linux Mint.ģ) Choose Driver Manager under the Administration category and enter your password.Īfter a standard cache update takes place, Driver Manager displays an overview of device components that require a driver. But I knew from other websites that Linux Mint should work fine on this specific equipment. The Broadcom BCM4322 Wireless Controller in the old Apple MacBook late 2008, is not automatically recognized by default during the Linux Mint installation process. One of the things I did was to swap OS X on my still working MacBook with Linux Mint, which was a great decision.īring your MacBook Aluminum Late 2008 back to life again with Linuxīut there was a hurdle. But due to increasing hardware issues and lack of support by Apple, I looked for something different. So what can you do next?Īs you can read in my article “ Bring your MacBook Aluminum Late 2008 back to life again with Linux“, I have been a very satisfied user of the OS X / macOS operating system for more than 10 years.

But it is always possible that the setup procedure, when installing the distro from scratch, doesn’t come up directly with the correct or most optimized drivers for your devices.

And with HWE, or Hardware Enablement, it has become even more convenient catching up with the latest hardware technologies in your Ubuntu based Linux distro of choice.

The modern Linux distributions have out of the box terrific support for most of the available hardware components, like graphics cards, printers and Wi-Fi adapters.
