Thank you for the reply, GhostBSD 24.04.2 does not seem to recognize the WiFi either. I booted up a Linux live USB (Elementary OS) and this is what lspci gives me:
Without either FreeBSD or OpenBSD supporting your Wifi chip,there’s nothing we can do.
Your best solution may be replacing the Wifi chip in your laptop,as Thinkpads are usually rather easy to open and repair and such.
I recommend getting a Intel wifi chip,as these are supported rather good at both FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
Alternatively,you could use a USB Wifi stick,many of the cheap ones do also work,but unfortunately there is no way to know if they use a supported chip before buying.
Upgraded to beta5 on my laptop, couldn’t find anything that didn’t work, although I did get a ACPI error when shutting down once; haven’t been able to reproduce it though, and I, in my infinite wisdom, forgot to take a picture of the error
What about renaming Web to GNOME Web in the applications menu so that it’s clear it’s the one from the GNOME project?
Only Web without further clarification is a very generic name and may also lead to confusion with WebPositive,often shortened to Web+
I wouldn’t say it’s a bug,but I got confused by those very similar names as well a few times.
Thank you for the help!
I actually have 3 USB WiFi sticks, is there any special process to activate them? I tried plugging all 3 in and none of them seem to be recognized but maybe there is a step I am missing.
Just to make sure, did you plug them in before booting Haiku? Because hot-plugging is not supported as far as I know. (for usb devices using the FreeBSD driver compat layer that is, to be specific)
Apart from that there shouldn’t be any special process required. If your usb wifi devices don´t work you can try with the newest nightly or the beta 5 release candidate that this thread is about (if you are on a beta version). If that doesn’t help find out which chip they are using (listusb and listdev commands, or the Devices app can help you with that) and make a bug report. Sometimes only small changes in the driver or compat layer are required.
Just downloaded R1/Beta5 and tried on a USB stick on my Mac Pro Late 2013 and I am getting this when booting.
What else can I upload to help with testing?

It’s a minor irritation, since pkgman will reuse even partially downloaded hpkg files from previous attempts. Still,there must be something wrong with the networking …
Hi; thanks – I am away at the moment, but will make a note to come back to this or somebody else can make a PR to the Haiku website repo to fix these instructions.
I have here an old ABit Dual Celeron 466MHz board which refuses to boot Beta5. Last version running was Beta3 (I didn’t test Beta4).
Is such a system/CPU still a viable target for 32 Bit, or is that no longer supported?
