i just installed linux mint but it doesn't get internet connection but there is a wired connect apparently could it be a driver problem.
 
Solution
It certainly could be. Does the NIC show in the boot log, and is it correctly recognized? Does "lsmod" show that the driver has been loaded? Does the output of "ifconfig" show anything interesting?

You might like to have a look at this article regarding network troubleshooting: http://www.tecmint.com/linux-network-configuration-and-troubleshooting-commands/ There's a rather more comprehensive article here: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch04_:_Simple_Network_Troubleshooting#.VN59prDGB6U And the Mint documentation is another obvious place to look.
