Porteus Kiosk No WLAN Card
Posted: 22 Feb 2016, 12:39
Hello,
Sorry for my bad English.
I am a Linux newbie preparing for a science fair project that required a kiosk for displaying web pages, I was give an unbranded hdmi compustick(named DiginosStick) that comes with Windows 10. I tried to run Porteus Kiosk 3.6.0 i486 from USB flash drive, but there were no SSIDs shown during the wireless network setup and the Wifi MAC address was blank.
I thought it is somehow related to a missing driver, the WLAN NIC was named "Broadcom 802.11n Wireless SDIO Adapter" in Windows 10 device manager(and work find in windows 10) and had a VID_02d0,PID_a9a6, after googling I am unable to find any useful information regarding the WLAN device.
I read some post suggesting that I should add "b43_blacklist.conf" (http://www.porteus.org/component/conten ... rteus.html), as rootcopy is no longer used, I am confused at this step. After unpacking the Porteus-Kiosk-3.6.0-i486.iso, I found 000-kernel.xzm, 001-core.xzm, 003-settings.xzm and 004.wifi.xzm, should I comply a new xzm containing the b43_blacklist.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/ or should I put the conf in one of the xzm and re-comply?
Am I even in the right direction?
Thanks for helping out!!
