Cannot enable wifi

Closed this issue · 10 comments

I'm using freeBSD 11.1, and networkmgr 2.2
When I click on Enable Wifi, nothing happens, I'm sure, and networkmgr are sute that wifi card is setup just right.

So, what info you guys need to know what's the cause of the problem?

Yes, I did

I'm using SLiM

what wifi adapater ?

The bwn one, I f I remember it correctly it's the Broadcom 43XX

that will need firmware built from ports, not available as a pkg.
Please post on forums.ghostbsd.org or join #ghostbsd on freenode for further help.

it turned out to be a firmware iissue.
