Hi folks! I just switched to Fedora from MacOS and I’m absolutely loving it. However, the wifi is not working. I mean, I don’t even see a wifi connection page. So, I tried enabling the rpmfusion repositories and installed broadcom-wl but that didn’t do anything at all. For the time being, I’m relying on a tethered connection. Can you please tell me what I need to do in order to get the wifi up and running?
Also, if it helps, the mac in question is a 2015 13 inch MacBook Air
PS please keep the explanation as simple as possible. I’m new to Linux and I don’t understand much of the jargon.
We need to know exactly what network devices are installed.
Please post the output of
lspci -nn
Once we see that it may be possible to identify the needed driver for the wifi card.
Just be aware that some apple devices were designed as unique and there may not be a driver available for the installed wifi card. If that is the case you may need to use a usb wifi dongle.
Hey, thanks for replying. As mentioned in my first post, I have already enabled both the free and non-free rpmfusion repositories and then installed broadcom-wl with the command you’ve given. Unfortunately that didn’t do the trick
Hi, I have the same problem as the OP, but when I run sudo dnf install broadcom-wl, doesnt work because a serie of Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for https//.... I don’t know if this is normal but I feel that it should be the case since I don’t have a internet connection… Am I failing to understand an egg-chicken situation? I see people have this solutions working but I just don’t see how can one install from a https without the wifi driver.
This thread is almost a year old and fedora has updated versions twice in that time. Any information here is sadly out of date. No internet connection? Dnf cannot function.
Please open your own thread and describe the exact problem you have and we will be glad to assist.
