LINUX: In-place upgrade of Mint 17.0 Qiana to Mint 17.1 Rebecca

If you don't mind trying some other distribution's live cds, perhaps that might give some hints too.-ewemoa (August 01, 2015, 07:01 AM)

That's a good idea. I'll make a live USB of Mint 17.2 and see if my WiFi works there. If not, try 17.1 etc., and go back until I find one that works.

The only problem with this idea is that there still aren't any disc images available for Mint 17.2 XFCE...

I know it worked in 17 and when I first upgraded to 17.1. But somewhere between 17.1 and 17.2 my WiFi stopped working.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. However Wifi is easily the top 3 issue with Linux in my admittedly limited experience.
Deozaan:
Here are the results:
Live USB of Mint 17.1 XFCE has working WiFi.
Live USB of Mint 17.2 MATE... does too! Though, I'm about 5-10 feet from the router and my signal is only at 15%...
So now what? I just wait for the official 17.2 XFCE image and reinstall Mint?

Did you check and see if Mint has identified any 3rd party drivers it can load?

When I open up the Driver Manager (with Ethernet cable plugged in) it just says "No proprietary drivers are in use."
