I tethered successfully, but I am unable to achieve success trying the sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-sourceД®: Unable to locate package bcmwl-kernel-sourceД«us 002 Device 004: ID 05ac:12a8 Apple, Inc. Thank you in advance, I'm sure this will be fun for us all haha! that can warm me up to this wonderful new world of Linux. I greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction and have no issues watching a video, reading documentation, etc. I know that I have a long path ahead of me to get where I want to be in terms of proficiency with the Linux kernel, so please bear with me. I've watched enough tutorials as I said and they have prepared me for knowing that I'll run into many roadblocks until I get more familiar with what I am doing.

Side note here, I am going into this Linux business understanding that it isn't just going to work - and not expecting it to be like Windows at all. Either way, I will do whatever is needed to achieve the results I'm looking for - a working WiFi adapter so I can simply browse the internet for starters. I have another machine nearby that I can place files onto a USB drive to install something if necessary. I can drop a line (Ethernet cable) to my workspace if necessary, but hoping I don't have to do this. I don't know if what I have posted actually helps, but I'm willing to put forth the effort to provide what others will need to assess my situation and help me move forward on my 'journey' with LMDE4 (32-bit) on an old laptop. As I said, I'm a total noob to all this Linux stuff, but I'm willing to tough it out and actually try to learn something here.

WARNING: you should run this program as super-user. Don't know what I'm looking at here really, but I'm sure someone knows much better then sudo iwlist scan lshw -c net I need some assistance, because I have no idea what I just did here (below), haha! I tried to be resourceful by looking up things related to 'can't get WiFi working on Linux Mint.' and here's what I came up with. So my issue is that it apparently cannot get the WiFi adapter working. As I said, old machine here that came with XP installed on it years ago. So I have an old Dell Inspiron E1505 I installed LMDE4 on (the HDD) with the 32-bit version - as I do not believe this processor supports 64-bit installs (won't let me install Win7 64-bit). OK, so decided to jump into the world of Linux for the very first time in my lifetime - watched enough tutorials that I said I'm just going to do this thing.
