T6 + Linux Mint 20.1 - WiFi

Post by IMPERATOR »

Hello,
I need some help, my T6-PC's don't show any wireless LAN connections with a Linux-OS.
I'm looking for a way to fix this, is there a driver for the new Linux Mint/Ubuntu ?
Thanks !

Hello, IMPERATOR
Sorry, there are too many branches of the Linux system. We do not know which version of the Linux system you are using, so we cannot provide customers with the corresponding drivers.

Do you have the technical specification or name from the WiFi module you are build in this T6 PC ?

You can take a picture on the main BIOS interface and send it to us.

Try this: copy from the ACEPC drivers 4345r6nvram.txt to /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt (or do some research where MINT may put the drivers) - this did it for me with Ubuntu-Mate 20.04.1 LTS on T6 (viewtopic.php?f=38&t=774).

So, this https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu should also do well if not better.

Hello,
thanks so much for your work and the link !

This website seems a little bit complex, how can I download this file to a usb-drive and install this on my T6 ?
Is there a tutorial for an installation like this ?
... sorry I'm not a linux pro :oops:
