WiFi

OK -- Broadcom 4313 explains it.  Shouldn't have replied when I was up too many hours--apology.  You just need to "unblock" all the Broadcomm stuff (Control Center->Maintenance->Network Assistant then the Linux Drivers tab). 



Second, we may have to undo any Ceni residual things that I steered you into. 
A) So make sure to choose Connman again (CC->Network->Select Wifi Application->Connman)
B) Inspect the file /etc/network/interfaces -- if it does't look like this vanilla one, make it look like this and then reboot.

Been a very long day, bankers can be frustrating
I looked a the Broadcom drivers, and they are already unblocked.

went thru the rest of what you said, and I give up,
the ACER is going in the trash bin.

my friend is as old as I am, he barely manages to use a cellphone, a retired truck driver, all his life.

I will find a Dell Laptop that will do the job and send that to him.
just wish I had not bought a new battery for this Pile of crap old ACER.

it just will not accept a WPA password, it insists on PSK

many thanks for you efforts, I am done with this project.
