[SOLVED] Wireless Problems

Hi all,

new to the forums so forgive me if i post in the wrong section, Basically ive been having problems with windows 7 and my product key and i dont want to fork out more money to get a replacement key so ive been looking into linux (i was looking a while back aswel but stuck with windows)

anyway im using a hp mini 110 and booted off a USB (not done a full install yet as im still deciding what to install) I cant get a wireless connection ive read through various posts about the additional drivers and downloaded them and restarted my computer as stated but no change then a pop up comes up saying something about activated the drivers i click on that and it wants me to download them again still cant get a connection.

Any suggestions?

Have i got to do a full install in order to install the drivers properly? or should they run when booting off USB?

Thanks, and sorry for the bad grammar

Hi.
First of all we need to know what is your wireless card and what is the driver you need.
When booting to zorin using the live usb, open terminal (ctrl+Alt+T) and post back here the results of the following commands

lspci -nn
lsusb
sudo lshw -c network
sudo rfkill list all

Hi,

if you are using only the "Live Mode", and you reboot, the drivers are no longer available, do what MV suggests without downloading the drivers!. Is it switched on?.

Regards Wolfman

forgive me if ive done this wrong but i was not sure if you wanted me to post the results after each command or just the last one... heres what i got after the last command

Wireless Lan:
Soft block: NO
Hard block NO

HP wifi:
Soft block NO
Hard block NO

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!..... thanks for the suggestions but i spent the last hour trying everything i could find and managed to get it work

Speak soon as no doubt ill have other problems since im new to the linux experience

Yes, I wanted the results of all the commands. Anyway, since you solved it, if you like just tell us what you did. thanx.
