Im going to attempt to use firmware from a later version of ubuntu / fedora and see if that works. I am not sure how linux knows which firmware to load. I will have to google it.
My God, that has got to be one of the worst message board sites I have ever seen in my life! As I am scrolling looking for the supposedly bloody solution, all I find are oodles of repeated posts saying the exact same thing.
As well as staff assuming far too much, and considering things solved, when there is no direct evidence leading to one to actually believe as such. There is a fine line between solved, and possible resolution. But their site layout leaves much to be desired. In other words, I think our site is much better!
According to what I could find, they suggested the possible solution as WPA2-PSK ' and Encryption 'AES. In other words, these have to be set in your Router's WIFI configuration. But doesn't normally everybody use WPA2 security protocal now days? However AES was important recommendation I guess.
Again, can't confirm any of this, you will have to do it on your end and see.
I remember when I had Windows 2000 as a part of the network, I had to lower the security (WEP) for Win2000.
Since I have no idea about the local area network used by OP, it is still worth checking.
It is perhaps your system is too new for Zorin?
I am just guessing. But I've heard that the very recent hardware works better in Fedora as well as Arch based distros.
I hope @Aravisian will be back to this thread soon. He is way more knowledgeable than myself.
There is a reason why I am running POP OS on my main gaming machine, its cause the computer is new, well, it was April of this year. You gotta have recent kernels to operate modern hardware. And for the record, Zorin OS 16 wasn't released yet, and I couldn't wait nearly half a year for its release to use my new machine, so it kind of forced my hand in the matter.
But turns out, I love POP OS on my gaming machine. But here's the thing though, I also love Zorin OS too, and couldn't be without it, so I got Zorin OS running on my Star Labs workstation, an older computer indeed, but Zorin OS runs good on it, even though its CORE AKA Gnome!
I tell you what though, once the Zorin brother's release LITE, you watch how many more installations start happening of Zorin OS because of LITE's release. People like Jeff and other's, they will have it installed so fast, they will make Varuca look bad lol.
