Connect Official Wifi/Bt Module - abue172 - 04-10-2016
Hi guys!
How you guys connect wifi through the official wifi/bt module?
I am using this image(Arch Linux Image with XFCE4 Base on Longsleep Image 20160304-1)
lspci -k or lsusb -v not working at all
Any idea?

Hi,
To start off, you will possibly need to use the Ethernet connection to get some packages using pacman (can't verify if this step is needed with this image):
pacman -S iw wpa_supplicant netctl
Next, you will need to load the driver module for the wifi board. To do this temporarily, run:
modprobe 8723bs
To have it loaded on each boot, add a file to /etc/module-load.d/ called 8723bs.conf, and add the text "8723bs" to the file.
If you check "ip link", you should now be able to see wlan0 and wlan1. From here, you can use either iw or netctl to configure your wifi settings.

Is the procedure similar for Debian Jessie images? Thanks.

For Arch running Ubuntu 16.04, with MATE desktop image, I connected the module, and Wifi ran perfectly after boot up. BT is still buggy though.
