Hi I have an HP Envy dv4-5243cl
I'm trying to get this to work in Mint 14 x86 Cinnamon. I see Mint is
using the 3.5x kernel, it's my understanding this driver needs at least
3.8x or 3.9x for the support.
For me the problem is also not the driver support in the kernel, to me
I'm having more like an ACPI/Bios issue on bootup and the F12 key that
is assigned to the WiFi.
My Envy assigns the F12 as the WiFi switch, I think this is common in
all the Eny line of laptops.
For a distro that has the latest 3.8x or 3.9x kernel this will work ,
but if I reboot the wifi does not work unless I press the F12 at the
Grub menu then reboot, or if I shut down the pc then turn it back on it
works this way also.
lspci always shows the device too.
The F12 also does not work under Mint, red color= off white color= on
and in Mint it's always red.
lspci always shows the device
rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
ifconfig does not show the wlan0, but iwconfig does...
I hope Mint will start supporting this driver In the HP Envy line of
laptops and figure out a way to make the wifi work on reboot without
having to press the F12 first, or shutting off the computer and turning
it back on, as well as making the F12 key work under Mint.
THANKS
