I am using parallels 16 and linux mint 20 on an MBA (2017). The wifi option isn’t available in mint, but when it says to use driver manager it asks to plug in a corded line to the router which i cannot do on my MBA. Is there a way to download what i need to the MBA on Big Sur and drag it to the mint desktop for installation, or is there another way? I find it odd that i have wireless to the MBA and can’t get around having to use the LAN cable for drivers. The connections tab shows no wireless option at all in mint.


EDIT: seems to be a big issue for many so here is the fix: https://forum.parallels.com/threads...s-network-initialization-failed.351463/page-5
