as my home pc doesn’t have any internet connections, I downloaded the zip archive on a different machine, then extracted the zip under /boot
Now, when launching ‘install-wifi-firmwares.sh’ the script complaints many times 'cause the current file system is read-only. How can this be? I just extracted a zip file into /boot
[finally, it fails due to some path mismatch, but for the firmwares it can find the read-only error actually appears unexpected]
Any ideas?
Only a few quite old chipsets (Intel 2100/2200/2225/2915, Broadcom 43xx, Marvell 88w8335) require binary firmware modules that Haiku cannot include due to licensing issues, though.
Somewhat related: I noticed recently that the install WiFi firmware script doesn’t seem to actually install the bcm firmware, the package just contains a broken symlink IIRC. Been meaning to raise a ticket…
