Hi,
I have the ZIP file using wget and zip to get the data for Broadcomm drivers.
As a novice I would appreciate clarity on instruction to copy the unzipped file to /boot. As far as I can see the system /boot area is read only. How and where do i copy the ‘wifi-firmware-data’. Appreciate any help. My Wifi device is BCM-4313
That chipset is not supported: https://hardware.besly.de/index.php?hardware=Wireless_Network_Cards
Thanks for the clarity, although still doesn’t explain my confusion about the copy to /boot. Anyway, back to Linux Mint in that case…
You must’ve misread. You don’t need to “to copy the unzipped file to /boot”. The instructions say:
Extract haiku-wifi-firmware-data.zip to your Haiku’s /boot
Then run install-wifi-firmwares.sh
You set the destination to /boot, the zip has the proper folder hierarchy to unpack it to the right locations. Then you run the install-wifi-firmwares.sh script.
Thank you for the clarification. I have decided to pursue Haiku one more time. I’ve ordered a compliant Wifi Card from Atheros and hopefully I will get Haiku to recognise it. I’ll post an update soon Even the Linux distribution is too bloated and heavy for my legacy Netbook…
