Re: [Tails-dev] known issues - another laptop model
Hi, was there any progress on this? intrigeri wrote (23 Apr 2015 22:29:22 GMT) : emmapeel wrote (22 Apr 2015 11:46:11 GMT) : Here a patch for the known issues page, Thanks a lot! adding MacBook Air 6,1 to the list of laptops with Broadcom drivers Well, that's not a list of laptops with Broadcom drivers: it's rather a list of laptops with the BCM43224 Wi-Fi adapter. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_Air#Specifications, the MacBook Air 6,1 (and 6,2, 7,1 and 7,2 by the way -- perhaps we could save some time for us and users if we add them in the same go) rather has something based on BCM4360. I'll trust the result of your investigations, and I'm not very surprised that said Wi-Fi adapter shares some issues with BCM43224. Still, my current understanding is that this patch, if applied as-is, would introduce incorrect information on the known issues page, that may confuse users looking for their laptop or network adapter name in there. = I think that this paragraph needs to be either split per-device, or adjusted somehow to cover all devices it's about. Good luck :) Hint: that the bcm43224 HTML anchor shall not be broken in the process, since it's been referred to in a blog post of ours in the past.

intrigeri: [someone has applied the proposed patch anyway, so I've reverted it until it's fixed or until I'm explained that it was actually the right thing to do.] Probably me while doing offline stuff, sorry.
