My network guy yesterday: "I took down one of your gateways after fat-fingering a change that assigned it’s IP to another device "
Me: “Cool. Thanks for letting me know. Nobody complained. I’ll just resolve the alarms.”
Network engineers:
Yes I broke the network. Why do you ask?
Is this a person or did you finally decide to read the damn man pages?
It was a GitHub repository actually, but the files were a big help. Shoutout to “macbookpro-12-1 linux fix files”
All they did was unplug it, and plug it back in.
I think, it is about drivers
It was a guy who posted a few files that allowed the WiFi driver to work on my old laptop with EndeavourOS installed. Been trying to figure out what I was doing wrong for a while, turns out downloading iwd wasn’t enough, I needed to stop using wpa_supplicant entirely.
That files were firmware files, weren’t they? I think those would be in AUR as well. Most of them are. 😇
Yeah, but the AUR build failed for me, so I just manually copied the WiFi iwd backend fix, it was only a couple short lines anyway.
Ahh, I see
May I ask which driver you are using for your wifi chip? I want to research about this
This is the fix I needed to get WiFi working. I had browsed several forums saying that removing broadcom-wl(-dkms) would fix the problems I was having, but it turns out you need to stop using wpa_supplicant due to a bug or something. Not sure why the AUR pkgbuild failed but it seems like this way was simpler anyway
You son of of bitch. 💪
All that pencil pushing making you weak?
All they did was plug in an ethernet cable.
And when it suddenly doesn’t work, it’s somehow your fault 😅
