Wifi on toshiba z930 satellite: Intel Wireless-N 2230
Posted: 24 Mar 2013, 17:00
Wifi on toshiba laptop z930 satellite would work out of the box on porteus 2.0 xfce de.
However, I was temporarily not able to have wifi access on a toshiba z930 satellite. It was not a proble in term of the wifi button being at off. In fact, I could see network manager applet trying to establish the connection after booting up in porteus. The specifications for the laptop are presented in this link:

root@porteus:~# lspci
...
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)
root@porteus:~#
[/code]
I got this in the past with other laptops.
SOLUTION:
1) reboot into windows 7.
2) Activate wifi within there.
3) Reboot into porteus.
4) Wifi is now available in linux.
Does anyone understand what is going on here? Is there a logical explanation?
