Internal WiFi status?

[moobythegoldensock]

Wifi and bluetooth are now available for testing in the default Arch distro as of kernel 6.6.13-danctnix1-1-pinetab2. Here's how to enable them (if you're running an alternate distro, please check your distro's documentation instead):

First, check to see if you are running the latest version via

Code:

uname -a

. If not, update with

Code:

sudo pacman -Syu

and reboot. You will need to use a wifi dongle or tether a phone to do this initial update: see the documentation page for details.

Wifi

Enable wifi for a single session with

Code:

sudo modprobe bes2600

. This will persist until you reboot your device.

To enable wifi at each boot:

Code:

sudo -i
echo bes2600 | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/bes2600.conf
exit

Note: Wifi is still being tested and as of this post causes issues with suspend and may cause the device to hang on shutdown.

Bluetooth

Enter these commands in order:

Code:

sudo pacman -S bluez-deprecated-tools
sudo -i
echo ifname:bt cmd:BT_ON > /dev/bes2600
rfkill unblock bluetooth
hciattach -s 1500000 /dev/ttyS1 any 1500000 flow nosleep
hciconfig hci0 up
exit
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
