Even worse they seem to be installed on the live images themselves and so WiFi works in Anaconda but not in the installed system. That sounds like two bugs, each needing their own bug reports: a. the difference in wifi firmware offerings between netinstall and Live b. that it works on Live but not once installed from Live (this is an rsync copy, with an immutable RPM database so it's not likely a case of missing firmware, maybe some NetworkManager bug or some problem with a kernel module not loading or a race that only happens on the installed systems? Needs troubleshooting comparing Live and installed boots. Feel free to post URLs for this on desktop@ list. Some wifi hardware requires firmware with license restrictions preventing including in Fedora (I'm looking at Broadcom) but that's a known problem with not many good work arounds. https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/116 -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
