When you meet the man responsible for fixing all of your WiFi problems

24 comments

Is this a person or did you finally decide to read the damn man pages?
- It was a GitHub repository actually, but the files were a big help. Shoutout to "macbookpro-12-1 linux fix files"
All they did was unplug it, and plug it back in.
- I think, it is about drivers
  
  It was a guy who posted a few files that allowed the WiFi driver to work on my old laptop with EndeavourOS installed. Been trying to figure out what I was doing wrong for a while, turns out downloading iwd wasn't enough, I needed to stop using wpa_supplicant entirely.
You son of of bitch. 💪
- All that pencil pushing making you weak?
Network engineers:
Yes I broke the network. Why do you ask?
All they did was plug in an ethernet cable.
And when it suddenly doesn’t work, it’s somehow your fault 😅
My network guy yesterday: "I took down one of your gateways after fat-fingering a change that assigned it's IP to another device "
Me: "Cool. Thanks for letting me know. Nobody complained. I'll just resolve the alarms."
for me, wifi never worked on Linux
- What's the system? Might be able to get it working like my macbookpro12,1
  
  invalid password error. antix linux. propably a driver issue due to laptop being too old and linux kernel being too new
