He means that until you install the package with all firmware enabled you don't |
| 15 |
know what lines you need to put into the savedconfig file. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Even after you do that it's hard to figure out what firmware files you actually |
| 18 |
need. I know I need iwl6000 firmware for Intel Ultimate-N 6300 wifi, but |
| 19 |
linux-firmware contains: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode |
| 22 |
iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode |
| 23 |
iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode |
| 24 |
iwlwifi-6000g2b-5.ucode |
| 25 |
iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Are these different versions? Different cards? Which do I need? I had to |
| 28 |
go back and reinstall sys-firmware/iwl6000-ucode to see which file was the |
| 29 |
right one. |
