even my phone is nokia with windows 8, so I cant do tethering like in phone with android.
Why there was no problem with connection to internet on linux lite 3.6 beta?
You are Welcome mk63
I have not tried tethering at all, I use OnePlus phone Android/Oxygen, this link covers tethering using a Windows phone -

I do not ever remember seeing a login and password prompt for LL live media ?
I use LL installed to hard drive, as only installed OS on the computer.

username and password in live session LL?
If system locks... Username is linux
then login password is blank/empty

Hello Jerry and developers!
Do you hear me?
Would you insert to new
linux-lite-3.6-64bit.iso
drivers for broadcom wifi adapter for those who have no wired adapter in their laptops?
You did this in beta edition LL3.6
Please.
Hi,
I'm new to Lite, so my non-technical description has no command lines etc., but I'm copying this from my post on my similar problem re Broadcom wifi driver on Dell Latitude E5420:
"Here is what I did, based on my scribbled notes as I went along:
My phone wifi hotspot was no use without the driver for Broadcom installed, but I installed Linux Lite os from the live usb anyway.
I then enabled Bluetooth on my phone, made it discoverable, and set my phone's internet sharing (hotspot) to via bluetooth.
On Lite os I went to Menu (left end of Panel) > Settings > Bluetooth manager
on the window "Bluetooth Devices" I selected the phone, then + added device (phone) ; paired ; trusted ; Setup > Connect > select "network access point" > "next" > ..... "please wait .... Device added and connected successfully"
and so I was online!
I had the "Welcome to Linux Lite" screen, which gives 4 recommended steps:
1) I installed updates
2) I installed drivers - here I was offered both a Broadcom driver and a driver for Intel cpu firmware - I selected both and they installed quickly.
at this stage I was able to connect with wifi and that has worked faultlessly since.
the rest of the set-up was as recommended.
I hope that was clear, if not please ask."
We do all that you can do with Broadcom drivers in the final. The Beta used one set, the final uses 2 sets of drivers. The decision in the end was to go with the 2 sets to provide more drivers. This represents the messy state supplying Broadcom proprietary drivers has been in for a long time. I wish there was one all inclusive package.

Jerry,
English is not my native language.
As I understand you I can install broadcom drivers from live usb LL3.6 Final.
Yes?
I could do it from live usb LL3.6 Beta - drivers were installed direct from live media, not from Internet.
edit:
In Release Announcement there is the sentence:
Better Broadcom wireless support.
So far I had the best wireless connection in linux lite via live media from all distros I tried.
Xubuntu has good wireless connection on my hp stream laptop too. But not perfect.
As I know and read Broadcom chipsets have problems under linux os.
Your particular chipset requires the bcmwl-kernel-source driver, that is what the Beta had preloaded. The final does not have that driver.

We can provide better Broadcom support, but not complete 100% support.

Jerry,
In live media LL in Synaptic I can see installed packages for Broadcom wifi adapter:
firmware-b43-installer
firmware-b43legacy-installer
but there is not installed:
bcmwl-kernel-source
Maybe next time YOU will insert this package to LL iso file?

Not in this Series, sorry.
