Thanks Jerry, the new kernel has solved the problem!
However, during the running of dpkg a few error messages appeared - they were:-

Puppy Linux use a newer kernel. Install a newer kernel. Get our 5.2 kernel from here - http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/pool/main/l/lite-kernel/linux-headers-linuxlite-5.2.0_0010_amd64.deb & http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/pool/main/l/lite-kernel/linux-image-linuxlite-5.2.0_0010_amd64.deb on another pc. Transfer the files onto a USB. Plug the USB into your AC3165 laptop, open a terminal in that USB folder and do: sudo dpkg -i *.deb. Reboot after install has finished.

Hello
I have just bought a Lenovo Ideapad, specifically to take abroad as it is so small and light. It has an Intel dual wifi/bluetooth chip, the AC3165, but there is no RJ45 Ethernet port, and so everything must be done by WiFi.
Unfortunately, LinuxLite 4.4 64bit install does not have a driver for the AC3165. Which is odd, because the 3165 has been around a long time (for example, it is recognised by the Puppy Linux install process).
After installing LinuxLite there is no way I can download the relevant driver, as there is no wifi or cable connection.
I am looking into downloading a driver on another system and loading this, but why not add support into the installation procedure, particularly as the OS is otherwise good for low spec computers?
