Ok, so now I am at the point where I try to configure wifi without any
additional media than the core repository-
The correct wifi is found but the system says that there are
additionaöl software and drivers needed (namely broadcom-wl) which I
may find in non-free or elsewhere. Just as expected.
Did it try to configure it anyway, or did it stop there ?
No, it ends there- you can close the ,essage and go back where you
have the already used option or the option to use a windows driver
with ndiswrapper. Or go back and leave the cinfiguration
Hm, ok, so I guess it would need manual configuration to test,
but it is easier to test the free drivers you can test with the
"no-wl" test livecd....
Reboot.
Now could I use the same installation to upgrade and use the same usb
stick, just activating the core plus non-free ? Or do I have to redo
the whole instatallotion?
Just use the same install and install dkms-broadcom-wl
Ok. so all I have to do go online with cable bound network, set media
including non-free, and then install dkms-broadcom-wl plus the needed
things. then reboot and try a new attempt at configuring .
yep. it might still suggest to install some of the prebuilt drivers,
but thats ok. the important part is the blacklist that comes with
dkms-broadcom-wl
