Hi,
I'm trying to see how to get WiFi to work on several macbook's, like the
"pro" and "air". These mostly work with Broadcom non-free drivers, which
is unfortunate, but c'est la vie.
So I went to look in the Tails code and configuration file, which
drivers were already supported, I see that the b43 driver is included
which is an open-source wrapper around the binary drivers for Broadcom
as far as I can see (the binaries gets fetched using b43-fwcutter from
the broadcom website).
So, this is an option, although not great, giving that we probably miss
a package to make Thunderbolt ethernet controllers to work.
So my suggestion is to add the following drivers:
- - broadcom-sta-common
- broadcom-sta-source
- module-assistant
- - broadcom-sta-dkms
However, there could be conflicting modules loaded, which should be
unloaded, so, this means that, we would need to check what kind of
hardware it runs and only modprobe module A and not module X, Y and Z. [1]
Thoughts?
