Re: Wireless is dected but doesn't work in install

I got it to work in BIOS + Tab with

module_blacklist=b43,b43legacy,ssb,bcm43xx,brcm80211,brcmfmac,brcmsmac,bcma

Dumb question, how to I run that command in the UEFI mode? Tab does not present a prompt.

After a brief moment of confusion, I realized you're talking about editing kernel parameters. IIRC the iso uses systemd-boot, so "e" should work.

Specific instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … figuration

Thank you. The 'e' is what I was looking for. They should put that on the screen like the BIOS setup has for Tab.
