This may seem very basic to most but just take a look at my username.
I've tried 3 different distros ( Ubuntu, Mint and Zorin) from a live usb over the last few days and have run into the same problem each time, no wifi access. Every help topic/guide I've found has just said to use a ethernet connection to get the drivers needed. This is not possible for me. Each distro "sees" my network but won't accept my password. When I look at the driver management of each distro there are no alternative drivers available for networks, just for my gpu.
My question is, can I find a driver and include it in the iso image so that I have net access and start learning more about Linux? If so, how? If not is there ANY other method to use? My installed wifi driver is Intel Dual Band wireless - ac 3168.
