Wireless adapter not recognized- Wireless tools doesn't work

#1

Just installed OS in a pendrive in basic config. The OS doesnt recognize my Wireless adapter. I’ve tried thru console to install as I did before in Ubuntu by using wireless-tools, but those commands are not available.

Somebody could help me figuring out how to sort this issue out?

Hi Alejandro, although they are present (because our system is derived from Debian) we don’t support using the dpkg/apt/etc tools as the system is actually managed / updated by ostree. Unfortunately I also think your Wifi card is just unsupported by Endless at the moment - we don’t have a system for installing modules that aren’t shipped along with the system. We’re looking at integrating some of the Broadcom drivers so that you won’t have this problem in future.

Thanks,
Rob

how can you think of releasing an OS without supporting the basic wifi drivers. No operating system can survive without having these basic drivers or an option to update it.

3yrs of research failed in first attempt of testing the OS.

my Brodcom 802 but not detect wireless network

wire ethernet
and usb ethernet work

wlan is not detect pls help me

#5

There are three different drivers for Broadcom wireless cards, but as @ramcq said above we currently don’t integrate them all in Endless OS. You probably have a card we don’t support.

#6

Ooops I didn’t see that any where mention that which WIFI driver you support. Or may be I should buy new laptop with WIFI driver which ENDLESS OS supports.

A post was split to a new topic: Mouse not recognized

Dear Sir, most of drivers are detected, my laptop is working fine.

Anyway, something that would help us a lot to understand the problem would be this:

  1. Open the application called ‘Terminal’
  2. In this application run the command: eos-diagnostics
  3. The above command will create a file with the information of your system (example: eos-diagnostic-160614_111731_UTC + 0100.txt); Send us this file so we can analyze and see a possible solution
