Thank you very much 
No worries … learned sommat myself there
Not that it will get me to use mintupdate … I just don’t like it, it’s too slow and I hate the way it decides not to update things like the kernel … I also prefer to not get reminded/bugged about available updates and update when I choose.
(it’s one of the first things I swap out when I install Peppermint)
Oddly, if you were using the default Ubuntu update manager, you’d probably be on a more recent kernel (IIRC mintupdate holds back kernel updates by default) … so your wireless might not have broken.
