Fix: Wireless

The network device is BCM4331 which means it needs the b43-firmware
that can be installed via yay -s
. When running iwconfig
and getting the no wireless extensions
response, the quickest fix was found in this question. After installing the firmware, run the following commands:
sudo rmmod wl
sudo modprobe b43
sudo modprobe -rv b43
sudo modprobe -v b43
Reboot. Test the iwconfig
again.
Note: maybe download b43-fwcutter
too, when I was trying to get 5GHz working, I noticed that when using only b43-firmware
, iwconfig
would not list the wifi. I also tried b43-firmware-dkms
and it did not work because of some kernel header incompatibility/missing module tree.
The standing issues are being documented on the issues page.
