Hi,

First simple thing to check...
Click on Menu and type Driver
Click on Install Drivers
Does it offer an alternative Driver to try..??


If that does not help, In a terminal, please supply the results of:
Code:
inxi -n
That will help identify the network H/W & Status

Right now I'm using a WiFi adapter and I also have a wired connection but I want to get the WiFi working as it should, this is what I get when I run that command:


Code:
Network:   Card-1: Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY driver: b43-pci-bridge
           IF: N/A state: N/A mac: N/A
           Card-2: Realtek RTL8101/2/6E PCI Express Fast/Gigabit Ethernet controller driver: r8169
           IF: em1 state: down mac: c8:0a:a9:71:a6:ff
           Card-3: Belkin F7D1101 v1 Basic Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188SU] driver: r8712u
           IF: wlan0 state: up mac: ec:1a:59:bf:d3:b4

And when I search for Wireless drives in the Installed drivers menu there's nothing listed

Thanks so much
