First off, the disrto I am trying to run is Netrunner-rolling-2018.08-64bit. The laptop I am using is an Asus ROG G750JW
that I bought in 2014. The pc loads up just fine from the usb. But when I check for a network conection, the wiress does not show up or when I goto Edit your Network Connections, it does not shoe up there either.
I goto the Hardware Detection in System settings and it detects the adapter (BCM4352 802.11 Wireless Network Adaper (Broadcom)) but when I try to install the network-broadcom-wl driver, it fails. I did once connect the ethernet cable to the laptop and it did sucessfully make the changes, but the adapter still did not show up and the wireless still did not work.
Does anyone have an idea what be going on?
I am guessing that I may need to install Netrunner first inorder for the chsnges to take affect, but I am not sure. Just to let you know, I did try the usb on a newer laptop and it (the wireless) did work out just fine on that machine.
