*SOLVED* No Internet after installing Q4OS under Windows 8

I decided to install Q4OS on my Windows 8.1 laptop.
Got Q4OS to boot, but without internet. It detects the WIFI adapter but has no access. I cannot do the desktop profile without the WIFI.
Under "control panel" "Peripherals" "Network" it shows

Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565/AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter
Realtek Semiconductor Co.,Ltd RTL8101/2/6E PCI Express Fast/Gigabit ethernet controller
Virtual Device lo

Also, no sound on the Q4OS boot. But, can wait for internet access before working on this.

laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15.

Please run the text user interface network manager from terminal:
$ nmtui
try to make a connection and post back. The NetworkManager text user interface tool, 'nmtui', provides a user interface to configure networking by controlling NetworkManager.

Thanks - nmtui did it.
Downloading desktop profile now, then I'll work on the sound!
