Wiil Broadcom Wifi Card work with Garuda?

Add the wl module

blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist bcma
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmfmac
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist ssb
blacklist wl

Then reboot.

Once restarted run:

sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager; sleep 3; sudo modprobe brcmfmac; sudo systemctl start NetworkManager

I doubt this will be of much benefit though as I strongly suspect this is a kernel issue.

Yep, nothing changed. I will go with XFCE image. Getting late, will try tomorrow and see what I got.
Thank you so much for holding the hand! :slight_smile:

Are you dual booting with Windows.

No, this machine is ex-hackintosh. No dual boot. Just wanted to go Garuda.

Well that's good, one less complication. You might want to reset your bios to the factory default in that case. Be sure to disable secure boot afterwards. Also be sure, AHCI is enabled not the Intel optane or other options.

Ok I will do that :+1:

You would probably also be best to start with a fresh install for further troubleshooting so that we know where our baseline is at.

I'm not sure if the following commands will work properly for you as your wifi adapter hasn't been initialized properly (but I guess it's worth a try:

INTERFACE=$(ls -d /sys/class/net/wlp* | cut -d  '/' -f 5)
sudo ip link set dev $INTERFACE down
sudo ip link set dev $INTERFACE up

Please post the complete input and output of those commands.

I found another wireless card Intel AC9260 and placed it instead of Broacom into MB.
I then reinstalled Garuda fresh but the issue is the same:

Network:   Device-1: Intel Ethernet I219-V vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: e1000e v: kernel port: efa0  
bus-ID: 00:1f.6
IF: eno1 state: up speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full mac: 2c:f0:5d:a4:fd:b8
Device-2: Intel Wireless-AC 9260 driver: iwlwifi v: kernel port: 3000 bus-ID: 04:00.0
IF-ID-1: anbox0 state: down mac: 12:16:ac:18:1f:d8

I guess there is some problem with my hardware which is not related to WiFi card... :disappointed:

This live version should provide some good troubleshooting info as to if Network Manager is part of your problem.

You have not reported on which kernels you have tested. When you are requested to run commands you should always post the inputs and outputs.

You will need to post any logs with errors related to your networking. Dmesg and journalctl should contain some information on what is causing this.

Is your Ethernet connection working without problems?

Have you tried Android USB phone tethering as a test to see if you can get wireless working?

Be sure to reset your BIOS as I stated before.

You need to provide more complete feedback on what you have, or have not tried.

Did you use the same installation media that you used for your Broadcom wifi?

I just searched your post history and frankly I’m a little perturbed now. You might have mentioned that you disabled wifi installation in your Calamares install.

If you are using the same modified live ISO then of course a reinstall using another wifi adapter will not work. If you had another wifi adapter available why didn’t you just swap it in when you were having issues with your Broadcom adapter in the first place?

I am beginning to feel as if I am being trolled now, as your lack of proper feedback is most appalling. You must provide minor details such as modifying the Calamares installer if you wish assistance.

Sorry for sketchy report, was in a hurry.

BIOS is on default settings.
Fast Boot Off, AHCI enabled.

Booting with XFCE live image also give wired connection (LXQT-Kwin live ISO is not booting for some reason)

Ethernet connection working without problem.

I did not test Android USB phone tethering.

For new install I used unmodified image ( I opened /usr/lib/calamares/modules/mhwdcfg/main.py

and those lines were not commented).

Off course I switched Wifi card before reinstall to see if it will work and it didn't.

Hope that helps

If you request any logs, please tel me how to get them

Was this with the Intel wifi adapter installed when you made this attempt?

I see this anbox0 output is still present even with the Intel wifi adapter. This is very unusual as I stated before. I did some searching on this output, but did not have a lot of time to spend on it. I would concentrate searching this message as I feel it is quite important.

Please post the input and output of:

sudo dmesg | grep -Ei 'wl|firmware'

Please Doublecheck if anbox is installed on your system.

here is the output

I also re downloaded the LXQT iso and booted in live mode.
Same output there

Could this be due to the recent anbox-support settings, if added to the latest iso profiles?

I am unfamiliar with recent changes in this regard.

I ask again, is anbox installed?

Please post:

systemctl status anbox-container-manager.service

There is anbox in Applications. Should it be removed? How to do it?
