LL 6.2 install, no option to enable wifi - PeterV - 01-31-2023

Heya! Fairly newbie here...

Just installed Linux Lite 6.2 on a Lersenovo laptop, all seems ok so far except there's no option to enable wifi in the networking menu box. When I go to edit connections, the wifi connection is there, but how do I enable it?? I've connected to my router with a cable and that works fine, and I've downloaded and installed all the updates, but still no wifi :-(

Any suggestions?

Cheers, Peter

Cracked it, I think... Went to Software and Updates and spotted under the Additional Drivers tab that Broadcom Inc was switched to 'do not use' - switched it to use the proprietary driver, seems to have worked
