Does the Linux airline have wifi that works out of the box?
- JoshTriplett 10y agoIt has for about the last decade, yes.
- sirn 10y agoYes, unless you have an obscure chip with over restrictive vendor (e.g. Realtek RTL8723BS) I have tough time dealing with HDMI sound than Wi-Fi these days.
- greenhatman 10y agoI have an obscure dongle that I use for wireless on my desktop PC. Since Ubuntu 14.04, it works out of the box.
- sirn 10y agoDongle usually works because the chipset shouldn't be too uncommon. What I was referring to was the Wi-Fi chipset that use SDIO interface rather than PCI/PCIe/USB (like the mentioned RTL8723BS, which is a Bluetooth + Wi-Fi combo module used in few tablet models due to its low power usage).
- iopq 10y agoYes, but the GUI doesn't work because it complains that you have to be root to do that. You wonder why they didn't give you a password prompt for root and just decided not to change your wifi settings. You go back to using ifconfig to configure it.
