Lite 4.4 install - no support for Intel AC3165 wifi
#1
Hello
I have just bought a Lenovo Ideapad, specifically to take abroad as it is so small and light. It has an Intel dual wifi/bluetooth chip, the AC3165, but there is no RJ45 Ethernet port, and so everything must be done by WiFi.
Unfortunately, LinuxLite 4.4 64bit install does not have a driver for the AC3165. Which is odd, because the 3165 has been around a long time (for example, it is recognised by the Puppy Linux install process).
After installing LinuxLite there is no way I can download the relevant driver, as there is no wifi or cable connection.
I am looking into downloading a driver on another system and loading this, but why not add support into the installation procedure, particularly as the OS is otherwise good for low spec computers?
