I installed Lite 4.0 today on an Acer Aspire TimeLine 3830T. Everything seemed fine except WiFi couldn't be detected. Did not find any helpful answers from internet either. Therefore I am hoping this forum may help me solve the issue. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Here are some information I collected.

Thanks!
