Do we have Wifi out of the box?

Post#1 by limotux » 29 Apr 2023, 18:06

Hi guys,

It has been long time since I tried Porteus and was impressed with it.
The only thing that kept me away was that I could not get WiFi to work, Out of The Box Everything.

I wonder how are things now?
My machine currently is:

I hope I can install Porteus, KDE Plasma, WiFi works out of the box.
Is it here yet?
I will appreciate your feedback.

Thank you

Do we have WifI out of the box?

I don't know about "out of the box" for your machine but "out of the boxes" should. The 6.2.12 kernel includes a lot of support for Intel systems and is what I am using with my Dell Intel notebook. Porteus Kernel Builder (Post by Blaze #93766)
