2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Ahh, I see

    May I ask which driver you are using for your wifi chip? I want to research about this

    [–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    This is the fix I needed to get WiFi working. I had browsed several forums saying that removing broadcom-wl(-dkms) would fix the problems I was having, but it turns out you need to stop using wpa_supplicant due to a bug or something. Not sure why the AUR pkgbuild failed but it seems like this way was simpler anyway

    How, funny, my sister just wrote me about wifi problems on her linux MBP (authentication not working) and I sent her the link to the GitHub, and it worked for her as well πŸ₯³

    😍this is awesome! I have a MBP running endeavourOS as well! I think some things written there, apply to my system (2013) as well

    For my setup, endeavourOS was the only distro that got wifi working out of box 🀭 maybe it is different now

    I have KDE and use whatever WiFi authentication system is used there by default Seems WPA_Supplican, at least it is installed Oh, but iwd is installed as well πŸ€”

    I have BCMM4360 and it uses the driver wl

    Do you have the same chip?

    And, was the issue it working not at all, or that it crashed sometimes while in use and needed a reboot in order to work again?

    [–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

    It was not showing wifi at all, until I uninstalled the -wl-dmks module. Then i could see the wifi but no connection was ever made, until the iwd backend took over. I have the 43602, so very similar chip but different setup to make it work afaik.
