Wifi Not Working Fedora 23 MacBookPro 2011

Crucifixation · 03-03-2016, 03:16 PM

Hey guys, first time Linux user here. I installed Fedora 23 with dualboot on my MBP 2011, I can't connect to the internet, when I go to network setting, I don't see an option for WiFi. I connected to Ethernet, ran yum update , updated everything , still no WiFi. I think I missing a driver, but I don't know how to install it.

Thanks in advnace to everyone that responds, also , when you respond give a lot of detail,

Cheers

Hi...

Welcome to the forum. Interesting username, what does crucifixion mean to you?

We will need some details, too. If you would, please open a terminal and post the entire results of the following commands...

Code:

lspci -nnk | grep -i net -A2

Code:

lsmod

Code:

iwconfig

Code:

rfkill list

If this is a USB adapter, please substitute the "lspci" command with...

Code:

lsusb

Regards...

heya Cruc' - try booting into the first OS, turn the wifi on, wait, then off again and then boot to your second OS

edit: sorry bloke, meant the other way round, off then on

Macbook Pros (generally) use the Broadcom chipset, which is proprietary so not included in Fedora.

This worked for me on a 2009 MBP:
