Hello all! I am having issues with my new Zorin 6.2 Ultimate 64 install. My problem is that my wifi will not connect to my router. The machine I am using is a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5103. What happens is that when click the Internet icon, it lists no connections. It will not even scan for wireless signals. It just does nothing.
// EDIT:
I thought it might be helpful to know that I am using the physical DVD of the OS to install.
\\
So far I have tried using an Ethernet connection to run the Addtional Drivers utility. This only shows one proprietary driver for the 3D function of the GPU, which is irrelevant to my issue. Also tried using Windows Wireless Drivers using a download of a driver file for windows from toshiba. This however, never worked. I tried Google for answers but most everything was for very outdated hardware and versions of the OS, so it was obviously unable to solve my issue. One result said to open terminal and try to run iwconfig which did not display any useful information.
I am really at a loss on what to do. As I totally wiped Windows 8 off of my new laptop. I was doing this from the start, so if this OS doesn't work Ill just have to end up using my Windows XP Professional I still own. Which isn't bad at all, but I would prefer to run Zorin. So needless to say, any information and help to get my wifi up and running would really be great. In fact, I will make a video of what is happening in hopes of explaining it more. Thank you all, I greatly appreciate it.
