And I plan to get a usb ethernet adapter. All the hardware I have (from donations) have had an ethernet port. I don't cherish these antiques, but it's what I've got to work with. =)

Thanks brickwizard. Since the installation iso had the driver for the wireless card (it worked Live), I thought there may be a way to point the package manager or software sources to look at the iso on the usb that was plugged in. I couldn't figure it out, but it seemed clear that what was...

I'm grateful for the time and effort you spent helping. Thank you!

Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6 (>=2.4)

Thank you Bwiz. Device-1: Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter. Driver: bcma-pci-bridge

I'm grateful for your attention and help. I've got a 2015 Macbook Air, A1465, and I've installed elementary 6.1. It shows a broadcom 4360 wireless card. I don't have an ethernet adapter for it (the computer was a donation) but I can transfer files and packages via usb. Although he'd prefer...

I'm having the same issue with the same wifi driver, but in elementary 6.1. Can you suggest a similar fix? It isn't as clear what I can/should do based on the description for working in Mint. I'd install Mint 20.3, but my boss likes the Mac desktop and functions but is happier with elementary...
