[SOLVED] broadcom wifi

Hello I cant get wifi working on netrunner 2017.7 my adapter is a pci Broadcom 4360

Did wifi work for you in the live session?
Your chip should work with the broadcom-wl driver.
Please provide the output of inxi -N.

here you go and yes wifi was working on live session

In system settings open hardware detection.
Is broadcom-wl marked as installed?

bcm 4360 is in there

That is not what I asked.
Is the broadcom-wl driver marked as installed under system settings > hardware detection?
If the driver is not marked as installed then right click on it and install it.
Like this:

I am just reinstalling as some things dont look right I will get back to you its 1 AM here will post when I finish install

Well I reinstalled didnt get wifi working it appears to be the 4.11 kernel as I found on manjaro xfce 17 I had to revert back to kernel 4.4 so will try that later

Since I do not have that Broadcom chip, I can not reproduce the issue.
But if it works in the live session, it should also work on the installed system, both are running the same kernel.
Please, check in the live session to see if it’s using the proprietary broadcom-wl drivers, or if it’s using the opensource b43 drivers and firmware. If it’s the former, then you may just need to install the wl drivers on the installed system using the hardware detection (configuration) manager.

You said you know it works with the 4.4 LTS kernel, which since Netrunner Rolling is based on Manjaro is easy to change with the kernel manager, but have you also tried the using the 4.9 LTS kernel?

ok I downgraded kernel to 49 wifi worked right away ok thanks for your help AJ
regards ron
also I forgot to tell you calamares keeps crashing when installing netrunner from usb stick but works ok from dvd install

Did you use dd, or some other utility like ISO imagewriter, to write the image to the stick in raw mode?
These are hybrid ISO files and do not work properly if written with unetbootin or similar utilities (AKA any utility that partitions, formats, and extracts the ISO to the stick.)
