I see that your machine doesn't have hardware that uses any of the rtl88xx??-dkms packages so those can just be purged. So thats why computer cant see and connect to wi-fi, now I understand. I will purge wrong drivers You should update the broadcom-sta-dkms package because that one is used by your ...

Sometimes the culprit is just the Network Manager itself While situation on this laptop is the same, Wi-Fi only works with USB dongle, I LOVE your suggestion. You put all together for someone who dont have internet acces, to DL all necesarry from another computer and then replace network manager wi...

Shortly, everything's ready: The 1st and 2nd commands will first download all the deb files (just KBs) of both NM and ConnMan in 2 folders (this is not a must, just you'll be at ease (the moment NM is removed there'll be no connection even with the dongle, just in case you'd like to revert back...)...

A-ha, good to know, and thanks for the explanation and all the work you and the rest of developers do.

Sometimes the culprit is just the Network Manager itself (maybe that version). Maybe you'd like to try ConnMan alternatively (I've been using that happily for years, also lighter).

Interesting, so it should work. Maybe it will with some different kernel. Fingers crossed...

Here's a how to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fradalGF6lc Thanks, good to know about general problems with this card. I'm in special situation, replacing will not be possible, no time for it. I got...

What kernel I should try with next? Preferably LTS - I will not be back to this country for few years and no one in family is familiar with Linux :)

Will try latest Liquorix and latest AHS
