    My questions

    I want to ask you about drivers (WiFi, ethernet, sound card)
    Basically I want to use it on my laptop but I can't find any drivers for this distro.
    I already installed it on other machines but this one is not supported right away.
    Please lead me to page or give me some command for konsole

    I thought it was a distro you used like live, directly from the CD/DVD?

    If its Broadcom & N, the card is probably a BCM4322, which there is a binary blob for. There are no open source ones though.
