Re: [Trisquel-users] How Do You Use OpenFWWF?

So, I installed various Linux-Libre kernels inclusing 4.16 and it just boots into a black screen on my macbook pro mid-2010 model. I guess im just goignto go back to the default Trisquel kernel.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How Do You Use OpenFWWF?

Yes it was because of electric work being done on my apartment building. They were replacing the electric meters. It's back now. Anyway, not just specifically "the linux libre kernel" but the latest version: 4.16. Because it's the one with the deblobbing changes. And again, no promises.

I usually install the Linux Libre Kernel using the instructions on this link: https://jxself.org/linux-libre The site appears down... :/

Re: [Trisquel-users] How Do You Use OpenFWWF?

Thanks. I do have a usb thingy. It's just rather slow. I am having trouble finding Libre Dual-Channel WiFi thingy. I'll try the Linux Libre kernel. I haven't added that one yet.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How Do You Use OpenFWWF?

"I have the BCM43224" Oh, with that one? Probably nothing. You could try a newer kernel (specifically: the 4.16 series), which I mention only because there are some deblobbing changes that can in some cases let things work without the firmware being uploaded from the kernel (it has worked

Who knows? They want to have control over the user and at the same time give those open source folks a lip service.

OK. Why would they provide source code but then not allow it to be free software?

Re: [Trisquel-users] How Do You Use OpenFWWF?

It's already installed. I have BCM4360 (Macbook Air 2015), which doesn't work.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How Do You Use OpenFWWF?

I didn't mention that I already installed OpenFWWF and is seems to not activate my internal WiFi. I have the BCM43224... I'm eager to hear what other options you know of. Please tell.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How Do You Use OpenFWWF?

Which Broadcom card do you have? It should probably be said that OpenFWWF does not support *all* Broadcom cards. Ones known to work: * BCM4306 * BCM4311/1 * BCM4318 * BCM4320 But even if you have a different one there's no harm in trying it. How to use it? The same as any other: sudo apt

[Trisquel-users] How Do You Use OpenFWWF?

I have a MacBook that has a Broadcom WiFi card in it and apparently, in Trisquel 8 I see there is a firmware that should work with it (surprisingly)... It's called "openfwwf" and it says its a firmware that would work with my card but I have no idea how to use it. I stumbled upon some
