Wi-fi not recognised

Hello I launched a live 32b and also 64b iso lithium in usb flash into Asus pc 64b I3 processor. The ethernet connection works perfectly, but the wifi signal is not recognised. The 32b iso works perfectly in an old 32b Acer Aspire one.
How Can I fix The problem?
Thanks very much for help

Re: Wi-fi not recognised

Information you need to provide in case of wireless problems:

Post output of

uname -rv
lspci -knn | grep -EiA2 net
dmesg|grep -Ei 'wlan|firmw|dhc'
sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep -Ei 'net|wpa|dhc'

Install rfkill package

sudo apt-get install rfkill

Please use "[ code ]" tags to post the output...

Re: Wi-fi not recognised

PowerPC support can be hit-or-miss with modern distros, but since BunsenLabs is based on Debian, the Debian PowerPC port is usually your best bet. If you can get a base Debian system running, installing the BunsenLabs packages or scripts on top should theoretically work.

This is a very old post and the OP has not returned, but just for the record: if you get a base Debian system installed (base CLI install + "standard system utilities" only) you can use the netinstall script to add BL on top:

The Carbon branch is still marked "experimental" and has not yet had exhaustive testing, but I think it works OK.
