wifi not working on new install
#1
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!
