Original page for wifi fix
After trying a couple of different distros with this laptop I found that Fedora 21 installed largely without issue, however the wifi wasn't working and also later found that the headphone jack wasn't producing sound.
Fixing the wifi:
- First update some packages
- sudo yum update
- sudo yum install kmod-wl broadcom-wl
- Edit /etc/default/grub
- sudo vim /etc/default/grub
- Add intremap=off to the end of the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=
- Run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.conf
- Reboot
Fixing the headphone audio:
- Create the file /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf (sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf) and add the following
- alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel id=Generic_1 index=0
options snd-hda-intel id=Generic index=1
options snd-hda-intel model=hp,headset-mic - Reboot
Now if someone can just work out how to get fglrx working without issue everything would be set up!
