Wifi issues
#1
I am trying to use the stock mrfixit kernel and modules with a Void Linux rootfs and wifi firmware. Whenever I try to use the wifi, I get "RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted". Additionally, trying `iw wlan0 set power_save off` gives me "input/output err (-5)".
 What options do I have here? Should I just try using the tsys mainline kernel? Should I try the tsys firmware? https://gitlab.manjaro.org/tsys/pinebook...aster/brcm
#2
I switched to the Manjaro firmware and am seeing some improvement.
With stock wifi firmware I was holding for 5min then would stop and not restart before a reboot.

With Manjaro wifi firmware I get 20-30min before the same thing happens. Still unusable but at least a change.
Make of this what you will I guess.
#3
What concerns me is that that is not my issue in the slightest. My issue is that I cannot set the link up by any means... it is completely non-functional, not just flaky. I have checked the hardware switch and rfkill values.
#4
Looks like the firmware in the void repos and in the tsys repo were insufficient. They were missing files necessary to set up the wifi. I have since copied over the wifi firmware from the original rootfs, but I cannot find where that firmware exists anywhere else (i.e. publicly). I could only find it on the device itself.
