In my case I did not have to do step 2 or 3, I was able to click the Icon in the taskbar where my local net was listed. My wifi is actually a USB 2.0 plugin I got on Ebay. I am running an HP Desktop system with no built in wifi. Again, the password could have been anything and I changed it. In security, I chose WPA & WPA2 personal and entered a password (assigned to the network previously). I changed it to something else without affecting the connection. I have a wireless network up so I used it's name, but I did not have to. WI-FI Protection is WI-FI Security on my system. If they started charging $200 a copy of Linux Mint I'd pay it. Version 17.2 was released about a week ago and I've just seamlessly upgraded to that with the upgrade manager, which is another amazing feature of Linux Mint.Īnyways, I love having my Linux PC do everything I want it to in addition to acting as a rock solid WiFi hotspot. I installed Linux Mint 17.1 back in December 2014.

Then I inserted my Linux Mint install DVD and rebooted. In short, my disk drive was factory fresh. I backed up all of my prized pix and vidz one day and ran a Boot and Nuke program to wipe all traces of filesystems and data off my hard drive.
#Punto switcher ubuntu drivers#
The drivers for my wireless card SUCKED under Windows and are ROCK SOLID under Linux. My nice Dell XPS 8700 came with Windows 8 (upgraded to 7 later down the road) and the Dell drivers DVD came with a "HotSpot" program. This is one of the reasons that I switched to Linux, and Linux Mint in particular.
