Hi,
demi4:
Tell me please - how possible include BCM4360 driver in to Tails distro
and create iso image to write in to usb and work in macbook ?
I read different supports pages and different sites and existing
solutions - this temporary before reboot, but me need stable solution
How possible? Not possible.
See https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html#index20h2.
"The wl driver is not included in Tails because it is proprietary."
It's likely a better idea to find yourself a WiFi dongle which uses a
free driver.
A known issue with Tails: certain Broadcom WiFi hardware is not
supported. This is due to the fact that the only device drivers
available are proprietary (not open source). Mentioned here:
https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html#index20h2
Using a proprietary device driver is inconsistent with the
spirit of Tails. Nevertheless, if you are willing, it is possible
to do so. I have not seen this procedure detailed on the Tails web
pile, so here it is.
There is a sort of chicken-and-egg problem to overcome: you need
network connectivity to obtain the device driver. But until you have
the device driver, you have no network connectivity. The solution
is to begin the procedure using a machine that does*not* have the
Broadcom hardware. In particular, choose a machine that has network
connectivity from Tails with no extra work on your part.
On this machine, install Tails onto a USB "thumb" drive as usual. You
should use the Tails Installer program, so that you can easily
configure persistent storage for Tails.
After you get Tails installed, boot it. Go ahead and use the
"Configure Persistent Storage" program. At a minimum, choose
persistence for these three categories:
* Personal Data
* Apt Packages
* Apt Lists
Reboot Tails and select "Persistence" from the boot menu. As well,
you will probably have to disable MAC address spoofing, because the
Broadcom hardware does not support this in Tails. Get used to this
boot procedure, you will have to repeat it each time you use Tails.
Next, go to the sub-directory Persistence in your home directory. If
you don't have this directory already, stop. Something is wrong. You
don't have Persistence configured correctly.
In the Persistence sub-directory, create a text file using your
favorite editor. This will be a bash shell script, use your favorite
text editor. here is the content of the file:
#########################################################################
#
# Install Linux image and header files consistent with your kernel
# using the package manager
apt-get install -y \
linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') \
linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,')
# Install the proprietary Broadcom device driver using the package
# manager
apt-get install -y broadcom-sta-dkms
# Unload any device drivers that may be present and that may conflict
# with the proprietary Broadcom device driver
modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac bcma
# Load the proprietary Broadcom device driver
modprobe wl
#########################################################################
Save the file and make it executable:
chmod +x <filename>
Update your package repository:
sudo apt-get update
Execute the file you created above, with root privilege:
sudo <filename>
The following three events should now occur:
* The package manager obtains needed files through the network.
* The package manager installs the proprietary Broadcom device driver
and caches it.
* The package manager loads the device driver into the kernel.
Only the first two events matter. On the current machine, you don't
need the proprietary Broadcom device driver.
The rest of the procedure must be followed *every time* you wish to use
Tails on a machine that uses Broadcom networking hardware.
Shut down Tails and carry the Tails USB drive to the machine
that uses Broadcom networking hardware. Boot Tails, selecting
persistence and disabling MAC address spoofing.
Navigate to the Persistence sub-directory as before. The shell script
you created should still be present (persistence!). Execute it as
root again:
sudo <filename>
This time, the package manager will not access the internet. It
will install needed software that is already present in its cache.
You now have network connectivity.
