Hopefully you don't get that message and you can connect to wifi. When I tried this on my computer for your Linksys driver I got an "Invalid Driver" message, but then I don't have your adapter. Click on that, enter your password, click on Install New Driver, browse to the location of your driver file, bcmwlhigh5.inf (for XP anyway), select it and install it. Window Wireless Drivers will show up on the right. There must be a better place to store these files, but I haven't put in the time to read about where they should go.Ĭlick on the green Mint Start Menu and type ndisgtk in the search box. The extracted files will be in the Downloads Folder. When the spinning is done, open the XP folder, select all files, and click on Extract. Open the Downloads folder and double click on the zip folder (or right click on it and left click on Open with Archive Manager). I don't know for sure, but I seem to recall that someone suggested the XP driver is the safer bet for compatibility. The Windows driver for your Linksys AE2500 you can get here. You will see that this program is not included in Cinnamon, but you can install it with Synaptic. In Synaptic Package Manager do a search for ndisgtk. I suggest you install ndisgtk which will give you a GUI interface for the driver installation. Yes, ndiswrapper is already installed in Cinnamon. They may even tell you to ignore everything in this message. People who know a lot more than I do will correct me where I am wrong. I have only been using Linux for a couple of months and I don't really know how to accomplish specifically what you want, but I am going to make some guesses and maybe some of this will get you closer. For example, all that junk in the Terminal you are asking about are modifications for commands. Seems to me you need more detailed answers to your questions.
