I guess no wifi driver. > When Wifi questions come up, it helps to collect lspci lsusb or whatever, to get some idea what hardware is in the box. This helps focus the discussion on the correct recipe. The Broadcom drivers, there were at one time, too many of them, so the install procedure needs a blacklist to get rid of the ones not wanted. Broadcom is a challenge on a vanilla Linux effort, and the Mac situation is not going to change that. It should be just as hard to do on the Mac. Other brands of Wifi, the driver situation isn't as messed up. At one time, a popular RealTek Wifi was not in distros, and you had to track down a solution from some web site. I think that one has made it into distros now, so that should disappear from the "list of nuisances". The Broadcom should be cleaned up by now. I think more than one person has figured it out. Whether it is cleaned up though, only someone with the Broadcom can tell us. ******* Example. I searched for "Broadcom wl blacklist", where "wl" is likely to be the one that works. Broadcom is the gift that keeps on giving. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/511570/blacklisted-broadcom-drivers-are-still-loaded Paul
