Hi Marek, Thanks for your reply. I got this fixed in the end by going back to the Qubes web link and double-checking everything. I saw the dkms autoinstall comment there and so I tried it and it worked. The strange thing is, I saw u2mfn in lsmod output so didn't think this step was necessary. So was this just the wrong version or something? So booting a fedora kernel is now working but I'm unable to do what I was trying to achieve with all of this in the first place which is get my wifi card working in sys-net. I can now boot using a vanilla upstream Fedora kernel in sys-net and associated kernel-devel. I built a wifi driver using akmods for my broadcom device in the template fedora vm. I assigned my wifi pci device over to sys-net and although I can see the pci device in lspci in sys-net and the wl module is loaded, no cigar. As a proof of process/concept I followed the same steps without Qubes/Xen by getting a fedora-23 ISO and installing it to USB. Booted that, built driver, modprobed it and bingo. So for some reason this isn't working when done through Qubes/Xen. But I'm not sure what could be preventing it and what to look at next. Some kind of PCI issue perhaps? In the meantime I've just assigned an entire USB controller over to sys-net and am using a USB wireless which works just fine but isn't ideal from some other perspectives. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Simply login on the template console and check `modinfo u2mfn`. If it's not there, build it using `dkms autoinstall` command (see its manual page for exact parameters). - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
