The output will show exact model of wifi card in computer whether you happen to be connected or not, so it makes no difference. Would be easier for you to post back here from live LL if you were connected though. If you can't stay connected and need to post from a different machine you can have the command output to a text file ("wifi-card.txt") which can be saved to a usb stick if necessary. This command will make a text file on the desktop that you can copy to a usb stick:
If posting back from a Windows computer and NotePad doesn't seem to open the file properly for you to copy/paste the output, just upload the file itself here to forum instead. (Use the "Attachments and other options" button on forum, click "Browse" (under "Attach"), navigate to and select the "wifi-card.txt" file.)
Assuming wifi issue gets settled, are you planning to install either LL or Mint as a dual-boot with Windows, or as the only OS on computer?
If planning to dual-boot, what version of Windows is currently on computer?
