So how do I accomplish this last step to this journey? I already installed Xfce even, thanks to Ethernet I was able to.
However I still need to figure out the wireless drivers. I've already tried reading the following guides:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup
However they make no sense to me, at no point do I see instructions on how to install the drivers.
I already checked and the drivers are available from what I can figure. Running lspci -vnn | grep 14e4;
returns the following:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX [14e4:170c] (rev 02)
0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
How would I go about installing the driver for the network controller? I have Ethernet access so if it's gotta be downloaded then it's no problem.
Appreciate the help! :)
modprobe brcmsmac
product output? After you do that, you may need to restart the network managersystemctl restart NetworkManager.service
.modproble brcmsmac
does not produce output. the second command you gave me outputs: [...] Unit NetworkManager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. [...]iwconfig
? Should show a module now at least - from there you can turn it on withip link set wlan0 up
(iwconfig should show the interface name)iwconfig
outputs:eth0 no wireless extensions.
in one line and in another it outputslo no wireless extensions.
. Should I proceed to installing a network manager? I haven't set one up yet.
