ncmprhnsbl, You did a great on Nemesis and it looks super great. I install it on a 16gb thumb drive. I think I will stay with it if I can get WiFi to work. I will be doing testing in the next few weeks.

Hi Jack.
You can setup your default WiFi options by editing network file in the config folder of your boot drive.
There you can adjust:
Connection=wireless
Interface=wlan0
ESSID=your_network_name
Gateway='xxx.xxx.x.x' (i.e. 192.168.0.1)
Security=wpa
Key='your_wpa_password'
and so on.
IMPORTANT: Be sure there is a line that reads:
Ignore=no
at the top of the file. Otherwise the settings will be ignored
Hope it helps.

Jack,
Have you tried to boot without saved changes? I mean, "base_only" and config/network should work. (I'm on Nemesis side, so I don't know how to do it in Porteus MATE)

is this a hardware/kernel driver issue?
Code: Select all
lspci | grep Wireless (or maybe Wifi)

I ran both and "lspci | grep wireless" didn't have any output and the "ip link" didn't any WiFi. I need to buy 100 feet of cat 5 but since I retired in 2018 I'm on tight income.

Did you try: lspci | grep
Wi ?

or use lspci | grep -i wi (-i = --ignore-case)
or simply lspci and eyeball it for a wifi related entry..

still sounds like a kernel/hardware issue... you could try using the old kernel(from that iso) with the new base.
i would think it's near impossible to upgrade packages from that old iso, since, for one, i believe it's based on manjaro openrc, which no longer exists.

I will try what you told me later. I will hope for the best.
