hi there! I've installed Linux lite on a Toshiba satellite laptop and am having trouble getting the WiFi working, im rather new to Linux but have tried a few things but this time I've been beat (managed to get i all working on a different laptop!)
using the lshw -C network command its come up with the below....
*-network UNCLAIMED
description: Network controller
product: BCM43142 802.11b/g/n
vendor: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:05:00.0
version: 01
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress cap_list
configuration: latency=0
resources: memory:f2b00000-f2b07fff
and after using inxi -N
Network:
Device-1: Realtek RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet driver: r8169
Device-2: Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n driver: N/A
ive tried installing the driver through the device manager and it said it was using one but apparently it isn't!
Anyway any help would be massively appreciated and i hope ive put at least a little bit of useful information here!
thanks in advance!
