Jim,
Are you still having update issues ?
I meant just a regular update.

Click continue

Click Authenticate
Allow the process to complete.

Steve,
My system is updating fine now, thanks.
I assume that satisfies the "LL" question above?
Re: Drivers installed but not "loaded" - stevef - 08-27-2022
I used LL as shorthand for Linux Lite - sorry.
If your system is updating ok that's fine. You didn't confirm in the thread you had about update problems, so I wasn't sure what your status was.
Re: Drivers installed but not "loaded" - Jim0000 - 08-27-2022
I have done all that carefully, but I have not got it to work yet.
I copied the notes off terminal to a file where I can find it and read later.
In my "Network" found in the panel, I can get to a complex list of settings to select to (presumably?) get the device going.
Is this correct?
If so, what entries to I fill in?
A few short minutes ago, I found a WiFi set up page. Sorry to say, but I cannot find it again. I did take a screenshot, copied to clipboard, but it did not arrive here when I clicked paste.
Do I have to set up the connection somewhere?
Jim.

Post back with
Code:
sudo lshw -C networkClicking on the Network icon (usually in the bottom right area) should give you a list of Wifi Networks that the adaptor can see. You will need to set up the system so that it can join your network.

No sign of the adaptor there.
Were there any error messages during the install and did you reboot after running the install script ?
edit - spelling

I am very tired now........apologies.

Hi Jim, you don't need to put in a new subject every time you post. Thank you.
Re: Drivers installed but not "loaded" - stevef - 08-27-2022
Jim,
Another thing to check when you get chance.
In the BIOS/UEFI settings does your machine have the option for secure boot ?
This can cause issues, so let us know how it is set (if you have it).
Steve
