Before I download the 32 bit ISO and burn to DVD, can anyone please state whether this ISO will include wifi firmware drivers? Working from a wired ethernet port is not an option for me. Many thanks

Very hard to answer. We have no info about your PC specs and wifi device. Some wifi devices install OOTB, some need an extra driver. It depends. Sacrifice one DVD medium is the best answer for your question...

The suggestion that it includes some wifi drivers is good enough for me to take a risk. I discovered too late that debian 32 bit live dvd did not include any wifi drivers. Yet another coaster  |

Yet another coaster That is not quite correct. Debian is not installing proprietary firmware if you choose the wrong installation ISO. You can install them later, though. The same would apply to Bodhi, you'd just need an USB drive or something to transfer it from a computer with working internet connection (or even cell phone) to the one with the not yet working wifi.
So, if you find out that Bodhi does not provide a driver for your wifi-adapter, tell us which one it is and a firmware file/ driver can be found.

The 32-bit Debian Net-install disc was a nice concept, but the lack of wifi drivers was a pain. I see now there is an "unofficial" Netinst ISO with non-free firmwares included. This might be a good option since 32-bit updates for Bionic Beaver (Bodhi 5.1) will be ending soon.

Hello, can you explain how to download and install the drivers for an Acer Aspire 5516? I use Bodhi Linux 6.0.0 32 bit |
