By default Linux Mint (even the LMDE) enables all available firmware.
If it is a firmware issue I seriously doubt the issue is with Trinity and
just because it works with MATE doesn't mean it would work with MATE on say
normal Debian.
I don't particularly like WICD anyway and much prefer Network Manager. I do
not know if Network Manager KDE witll work with Trinity though.

Try this:
If it's a firmware problem then you could simply try the brute-force way
and copy /lib/firmware from Mate to Exe GNU. If you're lucky, it'll work.
Most likely it won't work and you need to try a new kernel from backports
or testing.
dmesg | grep -i firm
and post the output.
that doesn't yield anything useful on my system and the firmware is
functioning!
I thought
lspci |grep -i control
is better as it yields the chipset in my case:
05:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285
Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
I don't have my other linux machine running here but as I said, it
coughs up Broadcom.
then search for the firmware for your adapter.
is my approach fundamentally mistaken?
