Hi! I’m a long time Linux user, but new to this forum. I recently purchased a Onda oBook 12 and tried to install Ubuntu on it. I’ve tried 15.10, 16.04 and the XJUbunTAB 16.04; all of them boot correctly, but none of them make work some devices: wifi, sound, and bluetooth. XJUbuntu makes touch screen work, but calibration fails and it behaves in a weird way. I don’t worry about touch screen and I can live without touch screen in my laptop for some more years, but I badly need all others. Booting in Windows I’ve been able to gather some information about those devices and all them seem to be SDIO bus devices. In Linux none of them show up in lspci, lsusb or lshw; /sys/bus/sdio/devices/ is an empty directory. I’ve tried a custom kernel 4.6.4 with all SDIO-like options activated with no success. Any suggestions or recommended readings? After twenty some years using linux, switching to Windows10 is not an option :-(. Thanks in advance.

paste output of terminal command:

inxi -Fxz

lspci | grep Network

lshw -C network

and

sudo rfkill list

[edit] On second thought, download the Linux Mint Mate 18 64bit ISO and create a live USB boot of , boot and try it, then open a discussion thread on the LM wireless forum section and paste your results. Myself and others can followup there.
