I decided to try Qubes OS 4 on my XPS 9350 laptop, from USB drive. Mostly it went ok (had to manually specify EFI file in BIOS to make it load), but networking is completely unavailable. I think the reason might be that laptop itself doesn't have ethernet adapter - it connect via a dock station (which has). I believe something has to be fixed somewhere to enable it? The dock station itself seems to be recognized somehow, since I have double external monitors connected to it and QubesOS properly spread over all three (one of the laptop and two external).
I see networking icon in the system tray. But it is red with a cross in the lower right corner and when I click on it it says Ethernet Network "device not managed". What does it mean? Laptop also has wireless Broadcom Limited BCM4350 [14e4:43a3] network controller, however from dmesg I see that: brcmfmac: brcmf_chip_recognition: SB chip is not supported brcmfmac: brcmf_pcie_probe: failed 14e4:43a3 ...so it probably is not supported. Is there anything I can do in either direction to obtain networking in my Qubes OS 4 on this platform? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
