How atipls made wifi work
How atipls made wifi work (with a bit of confusing detours). Inspired by the (sort of) helpful How_bonsaiblue_made_wifi_work.
- Since the kernel provided by Samsung has built-in support for the BCM4343, enabling it was enough to get wlan0 to show up.
- I actually have tried loading it as a kernel module, which ended up with horrible messages like
no wifi platform data, skip
andDHD wifi platform data is required for Android build
- I actually have tried loading it as a kernel module, which ended up with horrible messages like
- Grab nvram_mfg.txt and bcmdhd_mfg.bin from /etc/wifi from either a stock install or an unofficial lineageos port.
- I have also tried
firmware-aosp-broadcom-wlan
, but the firmware seems to be newer than wanted thus either not loading or straight up soft bricking the OS.
- I have also tried
- Bring the interface up:
$ ip link set wlan0 up
- Use XFCE4's menu or
nmtui
to connect to a wifi network.
