MintNetwork
I suggest create MintNetwork to control MintWifi, ethernet and PPP (i.e Huawei USB modem). --Mac 14:01, 19 February 2008 (CET)
Hi, Just installed Mint with wifi on my Toshiba Satellite Pro A30, needed to enable proprietry BCM43XX firmware first and download via wired LAN, then all was good :)
Drivers
I suggest include drivers for Linksys WiFi routers and USB keys .--Mac 14:12, 19 February 2008 (CET)
Solve bcm43xx
I have a HP Compaq Presario V6500, and I had to follow this guide to get WIFI to work. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff
Broadcom Elysa
Alright, since it's based on Hardy, broadcom is really being a pain in the neck, so I wrote this guide on the forums, and if you want to post it Husse, that'd be cool :P

First download wl_apsta.o to your destop. Extract it using archive manager, then you'll be left with 'wl_apsta.o.lzma'. Open it with archive manager, and extract it. Now for the hard-ish part. You'll need build essential, so:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
after you do that type:
cd wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2 tar xjf b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2 cd b43-fwcutter-011 make cd ..
And lastly, to install it and have it work:
export /home/user/Desktop=”/lib/firmware” wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 cd broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod
