The process is fairly simple, but requires you to have a compatible set of drivers which allow a wifi lan card to come into “Master” mode. Mode:Managed Frequency:2.If you have a wifi LAN card / USB adapter, then you can use it as an access point so that other machines can connect to the internet via your machine using Wifi.

Intel I218-V Ethernet (e1000e driver, I think this is the correct one but cannot verify the version) Netis WF2111 (rtl8192cu driver) Also tried older Netgear WG111v2, resulted in same connection problems. My system specifications are below, let me know if I should post up any terminal output that would be useful:Īsus Z97-A motherboard Intel Pentium G3258 CPU I have been able to connect to another computer through ethernet, so it appears that the drivers for that hardware is working to a degree. Would anyone be able to help resolve my specific case? I've spent a few days trying to sort this out to no avail. I know that this issue has been seen before from checking many forums and documents online. These were from the manufacturer (Netis) website, the Realtek website, and other modified drivers from the community that should circumvent what appears to be a driver problem. I have gone through installing different types of drivers for my specific usb wifi adapter with no connection improvement. It usually maintains a connection to the router, but cannot load anything. Wifi will work somewhat slowly for a few minutes and then stop internet access. On a fresh install and updated Linux Mint 17 XFCE, the system cannot maintain an internet connection through wifi, and is unable to connect at all through ethernet.
