No wifi when using live USB

No wifi when using live USB

Hi,

I have tried 2 linux 'versions' and on both the wifi doesn't work.

The USB is working fine, all programs working, I have internet by cable but no sign of wifi.

When I used Ubuntu it asked me to download the drivers for Broadcom SAT.

I got an error message saying - SystemError: installArchives() failed

I have found many pages of advice on this issue but my problem is that as soon as I try to fix the issue the USB wont boot. I have to re-format it then install Ubuntu again, and it is taking me ages to try different solutions.

Is there a known issue with Broadcom and using a live USB? My laptop is a HP550.

Thanks for any help.
