+--- Thread: hidden wifi on old iMac works in LXLE but not liteos (/showthread.php?tid=2162)
hidden wifi on old iMac works in LXLE but not liteos - morti - 09-06-2015
Ive two iMacs. The newer one is easy to set up wifi under Liteos (has hidden wifi option) but Liteos on my older imac doesn't have this setting.
I just thought its probably older wifi so doesn't get detected...but if I run LXLE on the older iMac the hidden wifi option appears...and sets it up easily.
Can I find out what apts or extras are in LXLE that I can install in Liteos to make this work?

What kernel version does the other linux OS use, and what are the specs of the older imac?
Re: hidden wifi on old iMac works in LXLE but not liteos - morti - 09-08-2015
LXLE result from 'uname -r' is

'System profiler and benchmarks' in LXLE lists etho, lo and Wlan0 in 'Interfaces' where as in LiteOS it doesn't list Wlan0.
