Re: [Solved] Installing Archlinux using .ISO on Macbook Pro 8,1 w/out ENET

That "unknown" only means that it's not clear whether there's current traffic, you can use that wifi chip at this point and connect it to the AP w/ iwctl.

So see whether blacklisting "modprobe.blacklist=bcma,b43" gets you ahead. If not, try "modprobe.blacklist=bcma,b43,tg3"

SUCCESS!

Thank you for taking time to get me past this.  This is what I did:
1.  Boot August 2023 ArchISO
2.  At grub menu enter "e"
3.  Add to the end of the kernel command line: "modprobe.blacklist=bcma,b43"     # I think the order of these modules is key
4.  F10 to boot
5.  Use iwctl to connect the wifi

No, they just need to be there.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
