I don't get why you need to run `apt-get update' to do the tests I'm asking for. >> That's not needed: the ISO already has broadcom-sta modules built in. > That is not my experience at all. Well, once booted from a recent Tails/Jessie ISO, I see: $ ls /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-*/updates/dkms/wl.ko /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-586/updates/dkms/wl.ko /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/updates/dkms/wl.ko So indeed it's included. > When I did "apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms," I got Unable to > locate package broadcom-sta-dkms > When I did "apt-cache show 'broadcom*'" I got > Could not find any package by regex 'broadcom*' This is expected if you've not run `apt-get update' first. But it's orthogonal to whether the module is built in, as shown above. >> Yes, it's known to be broken on feature/jessie. >> >> => I suggest either burning the ISO to a DVD, or using the manual >> installation instructions. > Yes that is exactly what I did.
