Archlinux - missing firmware for wifi adapter
11-07-2022, 04:56 PM
Hey! I'm having the same issue!
I've made some progress by copying the brcmfmac43456 firmware from here that was linked in the troubleshooting guide, but the brcmfmac-sdio.pine64,pinebook-pro.bin is still failing with error -2
I'm thinking that things would be resolved if i just switch to using the 43455 driver, and I have both installed, but I don't know how to manually go back a version to work with my BCM4345/9 chip
also, I think this thread would be useful to link on the wiki, since it seems like it's a well-known issue that people have been having!
