No WIFI

  • Hi,

    Thanks for any assistance.

    LibreELEC (official) 11.0.3 Generic.x86_64

    I have a Dell Wireless 1704 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz)-Broadcom in a laptop.

    How do I setup wifi?

    LibreELEC > Connections > only shows eth0

    dmesg has-

    settings has-

    I tried Network > Max Wait Time of 30 seconds but that didn't help.

    Thank you
