You have a broadcom wireless chipset, which means you will need to download and install the correct driver. As you don’t have Ethernet, it’s recommended that you tether to a smart phone if this is possible. As a last resort you can try downloading the driver to a usb stick and installing from there, but this can get messy as other dependencies (packages) might be needed. Here are some instructions. Have a read and see how far you get. Post back with any questions or jump on our discord and we can try and support you there. www.bodhilinux.com/w/networking-wi-fi-faqs/#My_Broadcom_BCM43XX_Wireless_Card_is_not_working |

You can use the hotspot on an iPhone by connecting it to the USB port.
Edit - I think Bluetooth also. Wireless won’t work without the wireless driver.

i fixed it by connecting my iphone with a usb cable and connected to it and followed the steps and downloaded broadcoms drivers for my wifi card.
