Wifi
The linux-firmware
(included by default) package is required to provide the brcmfmac firmware necessary for initializing the wifi device.
Once the device has been successfully initialized, enable it:
$ sudo ip link set wlan0 up
Configure wpa_supplicant (only necessary on encrypted networks):
$ sudo su - # wpa_passphrase $YOUR_SSID > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wlan0.conf <enter passphrase here and press Enter> # exit
Connect to network using wpa_supplicant:
$ sudo wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wlan0.conf
If your network uses DHCP, start the DHCP client:
$ sudo udhcpc -i wlan0
Freedreno
Freedreno is only supported with X atm as weston segfaults

# Install mesa and X allong with the touchscreen driver
$ sudo apk add mesa mesa-dri-freedreno xorg-server xf86-input-libinput
# Start X
$ sudo X &
Setting the date
Since the rtc driver is read only you need to use ntp to set the date
# Install openntpd
$ sudo apk add openntpd
# Write the current system time to the hardware clock
$ sudo ntp -s
