I am good fan of PORTEUS Cinnamon 5.01, and using it for my daily uses quite frequently.
everything works as per demand, but i couldn't get my WiFi worked, so here I am ::::
with lspci, i got this

Add cliexec=modprobe~b43 to the APPEND line in boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg
Code: Select all
APPEND changes=/porteus cliexec=modprobe~b43
Sorry, my English is bad.

@giftedsoul
As root, open the files in a text editor and unblacklist b43 - Example:
# blacklist b43
...or for a test, make a [backup] copy of both files and delete the original ones > reboot..

APPEND changes=/porteus cliexec=modprobe~b43
Open your File Manager.
Move it to the /boot/syslinux/ folder.
Find the porteus.cfg file.
Right click on it and open it.
Scroll down to the line that displays: APPEND changes=/porteus
After the /porteus add a space then add: cliexec=modprobe~b43
Then close the edit window. When it asks if you want to save your changes click on the Yes option.
Close your File Manager.
Ok?
