Hi,

Try pressing "F2" or "FN+F2" to see if the Wireless switches "ON"

Also,
Left click the "Network Icon" in the system tray near the clock
Check to see if "Enable WiFi" is ticked.?

Was a md5sum check done by you on your Linux-Lite iso download file?

Hello!

You will have to install some Broadcom firmware first. Using a cable or a USB wireless adapter that IS in the kernel, type this:

Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

This should get your Broadcom wireless adapter going...

Thanks for your help, I will just be using an external adapter. I found a spare one that works fine.

Hello!

Whatever works, I suppose. If you ever want to go back to your internal adapter, all you need to do is to install the package I mentioned and reboot...

Rob, Oh good information to know ! ( sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree)
All this time i have been doing it the hard way.
Maybe this is in the Help Manual ?
I haven't checked yet if it is in the help manual, be a great one to add in for this particular issue if it's not.
