Help with WIFI on HP Mini 110-1030CA

[Lawrence H. Bulk]

If you cannot go into the top panel to ensure that <Enable Wi-Fi> is
activated, and function keys do not work, then go into the Settings
Manager->Users and Groups->Advanced Settings (enter computer's
password)->User Privileges. Check each and every option and then accept.
(If you do not see an Apply or Accept button at the bottom, click on Tab,
then click on Right Arrow, then hit Enter.) Close the Advanced Settings by
hitting Enter, then go back in to make sure that your changes were
accepted. If they are, close out everything, restart your computer, and see
if you then have Wi-Fi connectivity and/or the option to activate same.

If all this does not work, then I'm afraid I am at a loss to help you.
Someone a lot smarter than I will have to step in. But I can tell you that
there is probably some simple solution to this problem (EVERYTHING in Linux
is simple once you know the answer!) so do not give up. There is certainly
a way to have your computer connect to the Internet using Wi-Fi.
