HP Mini Wireless Connection Not available - RobGoss - 09-10-2016

Hello everyone I have a HP mini which I was trying to install Linux lite 3.0 but for some reason I do not have a wireless available this same machine had Ubuntu 16.04 and everything was working great as far as Wireless goes. Any idea how to get this machine connected to my wireless network?

Thanks so much

Hi,

First simple thing to check...
Click on Menu and type Driver
Click on Install Drivers
Does it offer an alternative Driver to try..??

If that does not help, In a terminal, please supply the results of:

Code:
inxi -n

That will help identify the network H/W & Status

Right now I'm using a WiFi adapter and I also have a wired connection but I want to get the WiFi working as it should, this is what I get when I run that command:

Code:
Network:   Card-1: Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY driver: b43-pci-bridge 

           IF: N/A state: N/A mac: N/A

           Card-2: Realtek RTL8101/2/6E PCI Express Fast/Gigabit Ethernet controller driver: r8169 

           IF: em1 state: down mac: c8:0a:a9:71:a6:ff

           Card-3: Belkin F7D1101 v1 Basic Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188SU] driver: r8712u 

           IF: wlan0 state: up mac: ec:1a:59:bf:d3:b4

And when I search for Wireless drives in the Installed drivers menu there's nothing listed

Thanks so much
