I decided to try and see what would happen with Devuan's live boot .iso. Bingo. I got right to the net. Now I'm confused. It would appear that Devuan is distributing a non-distributable firmware file in its live cd .iso, and, the netinst.iso does not have it, or, its distributing a distributable firmware file that works on the C700 but is not included on the netinst.iso (for reasons not yet understood), or, the netinst has the wrong instructions for obtaining the correct .fw file for the C700. > Thanks for any comments on this. Exactly what non-distributable file are you talking about? (Full path, please.) According to the debian wiki, your wireless interface, BCM4311 requires the firmware-b43-installer package. That package was installed when the iso was created in live-sdk, because I included it in the package list. The following broadcom firmware packages are included in the desktop-live b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer firmware-b43-legacy-installer firmware-bnx2 firmware-bnx2x firmware-brcm80211 The license information is in the copyright file for each of those packages under /usr/share/doc. They are all distributable. Some wireless firmware packages require an agreement. None of those are installed. fsmithred _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
