lotuspsychjeapt-cache search broadcom13:46
waheedino internet on that machine13:47
lotuspsychjenot handy that, as updates could fix your issue13:47
waheeditrue13:47
lotuspsychjewaheedi: maybe try the offline broadcom method, are you familliar?13:48
waheedii tried to use the latest firmware for it13:48
waheedibut not the drivers13:48
waheedilotuspsychje: any recommendations?13:48
lotuspsychjewaheedi: check your install media source for the /pool directory there's the broadcom drivers you can install offline13:48
waheediwell, thats a preinstalled image13:49
lotuspsychjeon an sd or so?13:49
waheediyes13:49
lotuspsychjeright..13:49
lotuspsychjewaheedi: check your software & sources perhaps, see if you can enable the install medium13:50
lotuspsychjewaheedi: first tab, you see a dvd 18.04 bionic?13:53
waheedilotuspsychje: no i don't see it13:53

lotuspsychjewaheedi: i see in your dmesg there's a broadcom kernel line added13:57
lotuspsychjemaybe thats where it goes wrong?13:57
waheedilotuspsychje: which one?13:58
waheedione more thing, why each time the machine reboots the date is gone14:01
waheedii tried to set both date and hwdate for current time14:02
lotuspsychjewaheedi: hmm, im reading things in forums like that firmware doesnt work by default, and some compile driver from source oO14:02
waheedihmm14:02
lotuspsychjewaheedi: this looks interesting: http://geekinlinux.blogspot.com/2018/06/raspberry-pi-3-b-no-wireless-interfaces.html14:03
waheedion it14:03
lotuspsychjei think we can conclude your driver doesnt load/work right14:03
waheedidmesg does not complain though?14:04
waheediit says driver registered14:04
lotuspsychjewaheedi: yes, i was browsing on: brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_map_chip_to_name: using brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin for chip 0x004345(17221) rev 0x00000614:05
lotuspsychjewaheedi: and as your card says disabled..14:05
lotuspsychjea woring card should show chipset and driver= at bottom14:05
waheedibrcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware version = wl0: Feb 27 2018 03:15:32 version 7.45.154 (r684107 CY) FWID 01-4fbe0b0414:06
lotuspsychjewaheedi: think you need to find a newer firmware, and do that dpkg trick14:07
waheedithis one from the GitHub repo14:07
lotuspsychjewaheedi: you grabbed the firmware yourself?14:07
waheedihttps://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/tree/master/brcm14:07
waheediyeah14:07
waheedibrcmfmac43455-sdio.bin brcmfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob and brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt14:08
lotuspsychjemaybe thats why it doesnt work?14:08
waheediit was the same before14:09
lotuspsychjewaheedi: check the ubuntu archives, just like that forum does with debian14:10
lotuspsychjemaybe there are useful firmwares in /pool too14:10
waheedilotuspsychje:  i followed this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi#Wifi14:11
lotuspsychjewaheedi: did you execute the wifi steps?14:13

waheedithanks lotuspsychje16:06
waheediwell, I can see the wlan0 in ifconfig now16:21
waheedi:)16:21
waheedii changed the default.target system to multi-user16:21
waheediit seems I was booting in emergency before, and graphical target does not seem to make it, as the getty screen gets reset every 5/6 seconds16:22
waheedistill i'm not connected to the network, but the wlan0 device in ifconfig is bit relifeing16:23
waheedifinally I'm in :)19:18
