WiFi and Bluetooth: working for the most part #2

Open Vistaus opened 9 years ago

WiFi is working out-of-the-box but it's rather unstable. Bluetooth isn't working out-of-the-box (at least not on 3.16 and 3.17) but you can take care of all of these issues. Do note that there's issues with WiFi and Bluetooth when coming out of a suspend from SSD or RAM (hibernation) so you might wanna consider disabling this.

Make sure you have Git installed. Open up a terminal and issue the following commands one by one:

git clone git://git.marvell.com/mwifiex-firmware.git
mkdir -p /lib/firmware/mrvl/

(use sudo in front of it if you're on Antergos like me or have set up sudo on Arch)

sudo cp mwifiex-firmware/mrvl/* /lib/firmware/mrvl/

(use sudo in front of it if you're on Antergos like me or have set up sudo on Arch)

Now reboot :)
