Porteus

Blaze, you are amazing, that solved it. Thank you very very much. See you in another thread for all the other things I need help with :) Solution: jrs, can you try my broadcom-wl-dkms-6.30.223.271-19-x86_64-k.5.0.5.xzm (copy to /porteus/modules) for kernel 5.0.5 x86_64 with vmlinuz, 000-kernel.xzm, ...

And a BIG THANK YOU to all you developers for making and maintaining this great Linux system. It's almost perfect and I love it. Keep up the good work.

Hey, its working! Blaze, I didnt try your last tip yet, please read on. I must have done something wrong the first time. The solution was to use the 000-kernel and vmlinuz from 3.2.2. I probably forgot to remove the "blacklist wl" the first time I tried. Thank you very much for your help. So Blaze, ...

Hi jrs . Look at this topic [Solved] Wifi Broadcom 4306 rev 3 Heres the result from dmesg: guest@porteus:~$ su Password: root@porteus:/home/guest# dmesg | grep -i b43 [ 6.505770] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4360 WLAN found (core revision 42) [ 6.507001] b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 12, Type...

Hi Blaze
Thank you. I tried but that didn't help either.

Jon

I downloaded the Porteus 3.2 ISO and found the files there. Copied them over to Porteus 4 and restarted. Didnt help. I have tried with different drivers, with and without blacklisting wl.
Maybe I am wrong and never got it to work in 3.3 either.

Jon

Thanx jssouza.
The the module didnt work, could you please tell me how I can use the 000-kernel and vmlinuz?

Jon

Hi all I know this is an old issue but I just cant get this to work. I did make it work in 3.2 but I forgot how. I have a Macbook Air (2013) and there is no wifi card available. So far I have tried blacklisting WL in modprobe.d and downloaded the STA driver from USM. There are some tips and links in...

Ok, it seems like you have to boot in "Always fresh" mode to convert savefiles. I did not work when I encrypted the file from a logged in user, but worked in fresh mode.

Jon

I mean the "Encrypt" option. Thank you for testing it. I will do a new test myself.
Jon

Great Success!
Thank you jssouza!

For other newbies who need to do this: Unpack/repack of initrd does not work with the GUI. Use the commands in the above post.

It worked, but the encrypted savefile is empty. The contents of the original savefile was not copied over to the encrypted file. Odd!

Jon

Is anybody still reading this_ I have the exact same problem on a Macbook Air, but the solution doesnt work for me. I changed the 3.17.4-Porteus to 4.9.0-Porteus since I have a newer version. It stopped at the "depmod -b . 4.9.0-porteus" with some error related to location or file. My system went un...
