drivers for wifi broadcom bcm43142

[mk63]

Hi bitsnpcs!

Alternatively you can download the .deb file of the driver using another computer/phone, then insert that media into your offline HP Stream and use it to install the driver.

I downloaded:
broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-5_all.deb

Now I can see the driver in Synaptic Manager as installed but my laptop needs the reboot to work wifi.
In live session I cant do this so...

Be sure you save the "Live system create" to the empty USB or you will wipe your current live usb.

After installing the driver I went to:
Manu>System>Systemback
storage directory: /home
Function menu: "live system create" ---- button is not active!!!

"system repair" is active only!

HOW to make my current live usb to contain the installed wifi driver?
I want my LL live media working with wifi connection before I do instalation to hard disk and throw  windows10 to cosmos.
I have to make sure that wifi works fine before I do it.

Not in this Series, sorry.

OK, thanks for your answer.

Hi Searchernow

I hope that was clear, if not please ask.

Good idea but...
I cant do this because my bluetooth does not have driver installed in live session.

Hello mk63,

I do not know a workaround for this in systemback.
If nobody else knows the answer, then you will need to make a new "Live USB with persistence", here is a tutorial for making this with LiLi on Windows -
https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/14912/cr...ash-drive/

After this USB with persistence is made you can install the driver .deb you have into it, after reboot the driver will still be in the Live USB.
You then can test all is working with wifi.
When choosing you want to install LL to the hard drive, after installed to the hard drive, you will also need to install the .deb driver to hard drive, as no internet access after installing LL to hard drive, until you do use .deb to install it.
eg; not to delete the .deb file from your external storage until you have used it in hard drive install.

Hi MK3,

what I did was proceed to Install the os regardless of lack of internet connection. Then I found that "Bluetooth Manager" worked in the installed os ... as per my post.

I'm new to Linux and so I cannot talk about technical matters, just saying what worked for me AFTER I installed Linux Lite. Of course your set-up may be different, but have a look at Bluetooth manager in case it works for you.

Anyway I hope you find a way to get it sorted, it really is a very nice os.

hi again!

According to the pkglist:
https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distri....8#pkglist

linux lite 3.8 has got:
bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu1~1.1

but in live session I cant load this driver for my wifi card BCM43142  'cos there is not the "bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.271" in the live media.

I have laptop hp stream 13 and this laptop has only wifi adapter.
