    Is this a person or did you finally decide to read the damn man pages?

      It was a GitHub repository actually, but the files were a big help. Shoutout to “macbookpro-12-1 linux fix files”

    All they did was unplug it, and plug it back in.

      I think, it is about drivers

        It was a guy who posted a few files that allowed the WiFi driver to work on my old laptop with EndeavourOS installed. Been trying to figure out what I was doing wrong for a while, turns out downloading iwd wasn’t enough, I needed to stop using wpa_supplicant entirely.

          That files were firmware files, weren’t they? I think those would be in AUR as well. Most of them are. 😇

            Yeah, but the AUR build failed for me, so I just manually copied the WiFi iwd backend fix, it was only a couple short lines anyway.

    All they did was plug in an ethernet cable.

    My network guy yesterday: "I took down one of your gateways after fat-fingering a change that assigned it’s IP to another device "

    Me: “Cool. Thanks for letting me know. Nobody complained. I’ll just resolve the alarms.”
