#Bcm4360 linux install#
At the time, I thought I'd simply `sudo yum install broadcom-wl akmod-wl` and presto I'd have the drivers. I don't think the additional template is necessary. I even cloned the fedora-23 template, so my net-powerbook uses a template called f23-broadcom. I created a new net vm called net-powerbook. I decided not to modify sys-net directly. It's a matter of sorting through the weeds to get to what works. Once online, all the steps needed to get broadcom working can be found. That's what I'd do if I had to do this all over again, but the first time through it was handy to be on the machine with the broadcom, as there was some trial and error. a desktop with more linux-friendly hardware) and downloaded the necessary software there. Since I installed Qubes on the portable SSD, I could have instead taken the portable SSD drive and booted it on some other hardware (i.e. The point of this awkward device is to use it just long enough to get the broadcom working, then you shouldn't need it any more. I was able to get both to work, although the tethering was flakey. This adapter should work with ethernet, obviously, and also a USB tether through android device. To get online I used a thunderbolt to ethernet with USB adapter ( ). But there are a couple thunderbolt ports. There's only one USB PCI device, you can't associate it with a netvm (i.e. This is tricky if like mine the macbook has no ethernet port. You'll need to get online in order to install the software needed to make the broadcom work.

But it won't recognize the Broadcom wifi hardware. Qubes will boot just fine on the MacBookPro. Otherwise its a normal Qubes install with all but the boot sector encrypted. If you try the portable SSD, I found I had to use standard partitioning as LVM didn't not work.
#Bcm4360 linux drivers#
Rather than install directly to the hard drive, I installed Qubes on a portable SSD ( ), but I don't think that makes any difference in getting broadcom drivers set up. I have a MacBookPro which sometimes I boot as a Mac, but also want to be able to boot to Qubes. Recently I tried again with Qubes 3.1 and guess what, its working. With earlier Qubes I tried to get a broadcom BCM4360 wireless card working, but had no luck.
