Hello all!
I’m new to MineOS, and the tower I have it running on has a WiFi card in it and I want to use it, however, I’m having trouble installing/using it. I’m a decently seasoned linux user, but even this is puzzling me. I have temporarily connected it via ethernet (eth0, DHCP), and I have run:
su root apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && reboot
And to install drivers and a gui. (Just so I can see what I’m doing):
apt-get install firmware-b43-installer task-lxde-desktop wpagui pciutils
My WiFi card is G speed, and in wpagui, it doesn’t show. This is quite puzzling to me. Please help.

Many thanks to all help.
To put it simply: I need help getting MineOS on WiFi. Don’t ask why.
