Completely new user to bsd having problems with WiFi

Help Section
1

Hi never used bsd before i managed to install to usb and boot ok.
I cannot get wifi to connect, reading the forums i presume that my wifi being Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter.
I am probably out of luck.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

You can do
sudo su networkmgr &
and you will see at the right top next to the icon of the volume
the icon of the network manager .There is wifi on nomadbsd.

Hi Rother,
I’m using the a share point from my mobile phone.
If you have a mobile phone with 4g . Look if it’s possible to share with your computer like me (look for access point in your mobile phone enable it choose option share by usb and reboot your computer) .
Or some other user who have the same driver install wifi box and it’s end of the pb.

Let be lucky .

then try a usb connection with your mobile phone with share point.
I don’t have a Box for my connection wifi only my phone.
That works fine so I pay less.

Hi,

Do you know that Ethernet cable have not the same speed.

Look at this article about this subject maybe you choose an Ethernet cable slow.

Michel :cowboy_hat_face: With the good cable the problem of speed will be solved :smiley:
