Question Is there a forum 'map' ?


I'm an Old newbie ! Please advise;
Where would I post a WiFi-install-problem ?

This iMAC is running newest "bookworm" Q4OS + Plasma desktop.
Both WiFi & 10BaseT work as they should.

Problem PC is old ACER/AMD64 laptop running 32-bit Q4OS + Trinity.
It appears that there is NO network installer !!!
Maybe this is a Debian problem ?

I tried a very old Puppy distro on the ACER. WiFi works.
It was XP with working WiFi.

I have new thread,,, but where do I put it ?

There IS a networking forum, just sayin'.
Just click "Forums" in the top menu bar and read the list.

It would help to know what NIC hardware you have on that Acer, and what driver was reported as in use under Puppy when that was working.
Getting the same driver installed and loading under Q4OS may be the whole trick.
