o I’m trying to get wireless networking properly configured. First I decided to do this by installing Fedora 29 as a main OS, since I supposed that if I get it working there, it should work in a Qubes Fedora 29-based VM, right? Well not so fast. I got my BCM4331 working in the pure Fedora 29 OS by first enabling the RPM Free & Nonfree repos and then # dnf install akmods "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)" # dnf install broadcom-wl # dnf akmods then # reboot and boom, I have WiFi. Now in the Qubes OS Fedora 29 Template VM, since this is the place we’re supposed to install drivers, I entered the first command and I got a No match argument error. So I decided to just modify this to install the package for the non-qubes kernel, i.e. # dnf install akmods kernel-devel-4.19.8-300.fc29.x86_64 . Installed successfully. Same with # dnf broadcom-wl But if I run # akmods or # akmods force I get an error that says it has failed to build the wl-kmod for the 4.14.18-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 kernel. I decide to change the command again to run for the other kernel and everything goes well : # akmods --kernels 4.19.8-300.fc29.x86_64 Checking kmods exist for 4.19.8-300.fc29.x86_64 [ OK ] But if I run the NetVM where the adapter is attached, it is listed in the $ lspci command but not in $ ip a or $ iwconfig. So if I get that right, the driver has been successfully configured for the 4.19.8-300.fc29.x86_64 kernel however it’s kind of pointless since the VM uses the 4.14.18-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 kernel. What am I supposed to do here? Try and find a way to have 4.19.8-300.fc29.x86_64 as TemplateVM's main kernel or install the drivers in 4.14.18-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 one?
Someone on the /r/sub suggested I enable the latest ,unstable, kernels packages through dom0 along with some extra modules. I did that but I’m not sure what do I do next. Do I just run # dnf install whatever package I want installed? Everything seems to be properly installed (broadcom-wl, akmod-wl, kmod-wl) but # akmods still fails: Building and installing wl-kmod [ FAILED] Building rpms failed; see /var/cache/akmods/wl/6.30.223.271-20-for-4.19.12-3.pvops.qubes.x86_64.failed.log for details Here is the log https://pastebin.com/P17PmzDP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
