Title: Wifi doens't work on a macbook air (TC11.0)
Post by: Fven on February 22, 2020, 03:27:34 PM

Hello,
I have a macbook air with TC11.0. Wifi doesn’t work. The previous version of TC worked without any problem. To get it working I blacklisted bcma,ssb,b43 and I installed:

Code: [Select]

wl-modules-4.19.10-tinycore64.tcz
wifi.tcz
wl-modules-4.19.10-tinycore64.tcz is no longer available in the TC11.0 repo. I have taken it from the TC10.1 repo but without any result. The network card in the macbook is from Broadcom.

Code: [Select]

$ lspci
Broadcom Limited BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03) The firmware-broadcom_bcm43xx.tcz extension doen’t solve the problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I’ll look at compiling wl for tc-11.x - it took about 10 patches for tc-10.x..
