Yeah I looked around a bit and one of the Mint guys said setting bios to defaults worked for him.

It's something I always do when installing new cards/ OS.

If ya have access to bios you can always change it back after the wireless wakes up.

Did you set bios to defaults?

Did you run non-free drivers?....not sure how Mint does that now. Also codecs however that is handled. Intel may be blacklisted. Read about that. Is this a 8260 wireless card? Found to be problematic in my CF-54 MK2. $ dmesg | grep Intel [ 0.000000] Reserving Intel graphics memory at 0x00000000be000...

7 screws on a MK1.

2 in each keyboard bezel. 3 in silver plate.

There will be adhesive. Lift carefully giving the glue time to let loose.

What model # is your toughbook? Panasonic drivers.ca has some stuff.

The MC8355 MUST be a Panasonic card.

I personally have steered away from Ubuntu since 11.04???? However:

Linux distros are easy to try out from liveUSB. If you don't like a distro just turn the computer off and it goes away.

I don't know why Ubuntu shouldn't work pretty much out-of-the-box.

From all I have read you will need a CF-31 multi-drive. (CF-VDM311U) Note the part in the instructions where you need to use the "CDROM" faceplate. With CF-31 this includes the latch. Several people have used 16 GB ram....notably Azrial from this forum and Notebookreview. His signature men...

Sarah said this is "art". So here ya go.

This is a fun thread might as well bump it...

BUMP!
