Macbook Pro 2015 Wifi not detected

[vaishnav.gade]

Hello!

I installed EndeavourOS on my Macbook Pro 2015 and I cannot see my home wifi network to connect. I did not have this issue on my Macbook Air and am wondering if I can get some help here.

For starters, I went through this post:

MacBook Pro 2014 No WIFI

After distro hopping for a while, I decided to focus on one distro, EndeavourOS, and learn as much as I can. The BIG ISSUE that I’m having trouble figuring out after a new install is WIFI. I have a 2014 MacBook Pro 13", I haven’t figured out what I need to do yet to get the WIFI working. This MBP does not have an Ethernet port so it adds to the challenge. I installed EndearourOS on a USB flash drive, I’m not sure if that has any impact to my issue or not. Any advice and direction would be great! …

I first installed the following packages :

pacman -S linux-headers
pacman -S broadcom-wl-dkms
pacman -S dkms

Still couldn’t detect wifi networks after a reboot.

Next I tried to install and reboot but to no avail :

pacman -S broadcom-wl

Some additional details from the terminal:

pacman -Qs broadcom
local/broadcom-wl 6.30.223.271-362
    Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver

lsmod | grep wl

Please let me know if there are other commands I’ll need to run and paste the output for.

Thanks for any help provided by kind strangers!

It should work on the broadcom-wl or broadcom-wl-dkms. Are you using the current kernel or lts?

Try reinstalling

broadcom-wl-dkms

Reboot

Thanks for the response. But I already tried that and it didn’t work. I will post what worked for me and close this. Thanks again!

Edit: I am using the kernel that comes with fresh install.

This solution worked for me!

No Wifi BCM43602

Have exact same WiFi module. Decided to throw EOS on my old Macbook I use 2-3 times a year for travelling abroad. Probably a bad idea as you can imagine the backlog of updates everytime I take it out of storage and abroad. ID: MacBook Pro12,1 Model: A1502 (EMC 2835) Year: Early 2015 Wifi: Broadcom BCM43602 Wired: Broadcom BCM57762 Fresh EOS online install - To get the Wifi working from Arch wiki I made a /etc/modprobe.d/no_bmca.conf file and added line blacklist bmca. Then removed broadcom-w…

Okay … looks like this chip is using the kernel module. Glad you got it working.

Edit: I have the BCM4360 802.11 AC and it does use the broadcom-wl-dkms
