From: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi#Wifi: "Wifi on the Raspberry Pi 3 is supported in Fedora. There's a file we can't currently redistribute which you'll need to retrieve. This can be done either post first boot using onboard ethernet or when setting up the SD card. The command needed when running from a Raspberry Pi 3 is as follows. Once retrieved you just need to reboot and WiFi should be available. " sudo curl https://fedora.roving-it.com/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt -o /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt I followed the same steps on a fresh install of Fedora Server 27 for rpi3. After I copied over the file, I was able to see my wifi device. However, when I type nmcli it shows 'plugin missing' under wlan0. I tried nmcli device wifi connect SSID and it said 'Error: No Wi-Fi device found" This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '27'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. This is verified in Fedora 29. Should be reopened. The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days |
