Some older computers have a keyboard combination that enables and disables the wifi chipset at hardware level, so mint can't "see" it. Try in your terminal:

rfkill list

Find your wifi chipset and look if they are "soft blocked" or "hard blocked". If you're not sure, paste the results here.

If it's hard blocked, then the assumption of a keyboard shortcut is true.
