Over the past 2 years I have installed Mint twice. A year ago Mint had several "outages" which made installing their distro problematic. Both of the past two times that I installed various versions of Mint - I encountered the same problem - ( "Broadcom Chip Wireless won't work - period) !
I spent several weeks in the Mint forums, and applied various "fixes" to get my wireless working. It never did work, After standing on my head and rubbing my belly - and various other "fixes" I gave up.
Neither I or any of the gurus at Mint could get My wireless working (two times over 2 different builds) - I do have some time on my hands but not enough time to ever make Mint work on My Pc!
So after installing mint on My PC with a dual boot .. I gave up. wouldn't any sane person?
If I can't get my broadcom wireless card to work with linux, and the experts at mint couldn't get it working.. I asked Myself: "Why do I need this aggravation"?
What I'm trying to say is: Linux worked flawlessly on my pc, but without a wireless connection - my PC was reduced to an mp3/video player.
I want more from an operating system than that!
