My laptop has a BCM4313 WLAN adaptor. Here's the manufacturer link : https://www.broadcom.com/products/wireless/wireless-lan-bluetooth/bcm4313#overview .
And I'm following this guide on how to install it: https://onpub.com/install-broadcom-linux-wi-fi-driver-on-fedora-23-s7-a192 There's also the manufacturer driver here: https://www.broadcom.com/products/wireless/wireless-lan-bluetooth/bcm4313#downloads The instructions on How to Install are here: https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/1211168561592 I managed to download and extract the driver. I also managed to "make" it. The problem is when I try to "make install" it. Here's the error message: [user@fedora-23 hybrid_wl_f23]$ sudo make install install -D -m 755 wl.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless install: cannot create regular file ‘/lib/modules/4.4.31-11.pvops.qubes.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko’: Read-only file system Makefile:168: recipe for target 'install' failed make: *** [install] Error 1 So the problem is that the file system is read-only. In the following link: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/5pGA68aTb-4/IFuk0wTJBQAJ Marek Marczykowski-Górecki gives the following solution: ************************************** /lib/modules/(kernel version) is mounted read-only, so you can't modify it. You can either switch to in-VM kernel[1], or keep that module (`wl.ko`) in some other directory and load it using `insmod /path/to/wl.ko`. The former method will require somehow more work, but will be easier to maintain later. ************************************** I do not know what "In-VM" kernel is. I tried a few things. I opened the "VM-Settings" for fedora-23 template and saw the "Kernel" option. Here are the possibilities: default(4.4.31-11)(current) 4.4.31-11 4.4.14-11 none Additionally, "qvm-prefs my-appvm -s kernel" command describes how "none" means "kernels subdir in VM". So I set the "kernel" option to "none" using "qvm-prefs fedora-23 -s kernel none" But Now I can't start the Template. I get the following error message: Error while starting the 'fedora-23' VM:VM kernel does not exist: /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-23/kernels/vmlinuz After that I tried Marek Marczykowski-Górecki's second solution. i.e. to insmod the wl.ko file in. But again I get this error: [user@fedora-23 hybrid_wl_f23]$ sudo insmod wl.ko insmod: ERROR: could not insert module wl.ko: Unknown symbol in module Some one please help me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
