Welcome @casper

On fedora can you give the hardware output for the network

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1286:204c Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. Bluetooth and Wireless LAN Composite
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88W8897 [AVASTAR] 802.11ac Wireless

I think you would have to install the firmware for the Marvell chip as it is a separate package according to this. So is there any other way to connect and then install it.

sudo pacman -S linux-firmware-marvell

Welcome to the EndeavourOS forum. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Your Topic title sounds like it could be a Alfred Hitchcock movie title.

Welcome aboard! :smile:

Could you show the output of command:

lspci -k | grep "Kernel driver in use"

?

It should be capital s > -S

Try USB tethering your mobile phone and use the data if you can.

You have to be connected to the network somehow to install the firmware package that is required for Marvell. Then you have to reboot.

sudo pacman -S linux-firmware-marvell

This is the correct module but it needs the firmware package installed in order for the device to work.

Welcome @casper

While you are working on the network driver issue, and you have Fedora running, why not do your “Trial of Endeavour” on Gnome Boxes?

15

It is also possible to download package linux-firmware-marvell with another computer and transfer it to your Surface. Then install it with
sudo pacman -U “package-file”

I keep forgetting about this ability. :thinking:

Gnome boxes? :face_vomiting: How about Virtual Box or VmWare! :laughing:

Pacman can also download packages with

sudo pacman -Sw “package-name”

@casper should already have it in Fedora. :face_holding_back_tears:
