I booted into endeavour os for the first time, but i wasn’t able to get Wi-Fi working. Above it the result of ip link and systemctl status network.target
I tried android tethering, but it didn’t work so i have no way of using internet on my endeavour installation.
And the live environment before installing endeavour, it works perfectly. It detects my wifi card, ip link shows 3 devices as expected with one of them being for wifi. it even connects to the wifi network. this sadly doesn’t work in endeavour normal installation
my wifi card is Broadcom 4331. lspci is able to detect the Broadcom card but it doesn’t show up in the ip link. networkctl also shows just the 1 loopback device.
Another thing i found was that while booting, it shows “failed to mount efi system partition automount” can this have an effect?
Which broadcom chip is it?
inxi -Na
Edit: Sorry i didn’t notice you reported the chip in your topic. 
You may need to install the broadcom package. This is a macbook. You could try this one.
sudo pacman -S broadcom-wl-dkms
I need internet to install broadcom-wl. But i need the driver to have internet. As i said i tried using android tethering but it didn’t work with even 2 devices.
as for broadcom-wl-dkms. I tried installing it with yay and it looks like i am only reinstalling it so it is already present. Still to make sure i did install it but nothing worked even after a reboot.
Also another thing i have tried is git cloning the wl on mac and pushing it to a pendrive and then opening it in linux. but that doesn’t work because the format are messed up. when i use fat or exfat, endeavour says that vfat is not configured or something like that
Broadcom is on the live ISO so that is probably why WiFi works. You can install it if you use the user_pkglist.txt that is on the live ISO and add broadcom-wl-dkms to this file so it will install this package on the install. You can access this file on the live ISO through Dolphin. It would require you to reinstall EOS.
Add the package to the file and save.
If you boot on the live ISO you could check that is is using broadcom first with inxi -Na I’m almost certain that it is.
Thank you very much. I tried to reinstall the system and this time i used xfce and somehow the internet worked on its own. i didn’t have to do anything. the only change from previous installation and this current installation is that the previous one used gnome and this one uses xfce. Extremely sorry that i have essentially wasted your time. I don’t know what happened in the previous one. but thank you for all your help.
That’s okay. I didn’t know what desktop you had installed and I wouldn’t have thought it would be related to that but sometimes stuff happens. Not sure why it didn’t work on Gnome. Glad you were able to get it installed and working.
thank you very much
