Hello and thank you for your time. I am new with this sort of system, so please excuse me if a have not supplied the correct information - i don’t know what that would be.
I have installed IPfire on a raspberry Pi 3 Model B. The first time around everything worked ok, I could assign LAN to green and wifi to red. Then i tried to redo the setup as i had missed some things with the rest of the setup and now I only have one interface - the wired connection.
It does not appear to be a problem for others as I have not been able to find it elsewhere.
I am totally in the dark as how to solve it.
When i boot the Pi with Raspberry Pi OS, the WiFi works, but as soon as I start the IPFire, it will not recognize the wireless NIC.
I thought it was a driver issue, and so I tried this:
, but it did not make a difference.
If anybody has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated and if more information is needed (which i expect), I will gladly provide it, but do let me know how to get it
Thank you
Thank you for your reply.
Should i finish the setup before it can detect them again?
I did try to remove the assignments, but i do not believe I have completed the setup with no assignments.
If I just removed the assignments without completing the setup, the other NIC did not reappear.
I will try if I can complete the setup without any NICs assigned and if that resolves the problem afterwards.
Again, thank you
Thank you for your suggestion @arne_f. I just tried removing any assignments, completing the setup, rebooting and check if the two NICs would show again. They did not, so I still only have the ethernet NIC available.
Which exact board you have? I have tested this with Core159 (armv6l and aarch64) on a RPi 3B V1.2 (same as in the wiki picture)
Both correct detect the LAN and WLAN Nic’s
I have been running it on a Raspberry Pi Model B V1.2 as well.
The image I have used was the:
IPFire 2.25 - Core Update 158 for arm Flash Image (are there different ones to choose?).
Should i give aarch64 a go? The one marked experimental?
Edit: Realizing after posting, that I have used Core 158, I looked for Core159, but I do not see it on the webpage. Could the problem stem from using 158? Although the system initially did recognize all the NICs
Edit2: I found out that it is available for testing and not on the main website. Is it available as an image for flashing anywhere or will I have to compile it myself? If so, where do I start? I have never successfully compiled anything, so where would you recommend I start reading etc?
I have also tested core158 now and can confim the problem. Looks like a kernel/firmware problem in core158 which have updated linux firmware but still to older kernel…
and if more information is needed (which i expect), I will gladly provide it, but do let me know how to get it
