Linux Lite Forums

Hello every one ... forgive me for my simple English
Iam new in Linux... I installed  elementary OS 64 bit
Its really cool . But I have problem with LAN and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and audio ... they don't  work at all
So I can't use internet to install missing drivers :-(
I tried ubunto before I installed elementary  and everything was working expect Bluetooth
Can you help me please ?
my laptop is Lenovo g500
LAN : Atheros LAN
Bluetooth : Atheros Broadcom
Wi-Fi : Atheros Broadcom

Are you saying that you're using elementary right now and that is what you have a problem with?

You'll need to ask the elementary OS folks.  See

http://elementaryos.org/support

If no luck, try asking in a "generic" linux forum.  Go to my website (signature) -> forum and ask.  Sorry, but this LL forum is the wrong place.  Worst case try various liveCD and try something else.

I concur with Sheng-Chieh. However, I can tell you that there is a known issue with Broadcom drivers in a lot of systems. There is a fix for them. you might have to look in your specific OS forum to find them though. I know here in Beryl, or LL 2.0, we have resolved a lot of them. I don't think anyone will have a problem with you having a look around to see if a fix it is here for you.

Good luck

Hello!

The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cards can be either Atheros OR Broadcom, but not both. Two different manufacturers.

Although this forum is Linux Lite-specific, I'll help you no matter what distro you have. Did you verify the checksum on the ISO you downloaded to check for download errors?

Elementary OS SHOULD have at LEAST detected your LAN card for you. Pull down the Linux Lite ISO, verify it, and give Linux Lite a try, and you SHOULD find that you can at LEAST pull updates over a LAN cable...
