Could the issue have been due to the Linux Mint's kernel simply not yet supporting your wireless adapter? I have heard that Linux Mint remains on older kernels longer than other distributions for the purpose of stability. I had the same issue when I tried Linux Mint myself, which I fixed simply by switching to a distribution that used a newer kernel version.

Maybe, but Mint was sold to me as the easiest and best distro and these types of issues are still the reason many people don't vibe with Linux.
