    Thanks to /u/grotgrot on the lattepanda subreddit, WiFi is finally woring under Linux!

    Below is a set of steps for enabling wireless:

    Step 1: Setting SDIO PCI mode in UEFI:
  • 1. Reboot machine and press the DEL key to enter UEFI Setup.
    • 2. Select the Chipset tab and select the South Bridge option.
    • 3. Select the LPSS & SCC Configuration option.
    • 4. Select SCC SDIO Support and select PCI Mode form the SSC SDIO Support list.
    • 5. Save Changes and Exit.
    Step 2: Obtaining BCM4334 WLAN settings
  • 1. Verify that /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43340-sdio.bin exists. If it doesn't, download it from the linux-firmware project.
    • 2. As root, run the following command to download the BCM4334 WLAN settings and save it to the right location:

      Code: Select all

      curl -L0 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LattePandaTeam/LattePanda-Win10-Software/master/Drivers/LattePanda_4G64GB_Drivers/MRD-64bit-Intel-Driver-Release/Drivers/WIFI/bcm943341wlagb.txt -o /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43340-sdio.txt
    • 3. Reboot your LattePanda. You should now have working WiFI.
    These steps were tested on a 64GB Emmc/4GB RAM Latepanda running Fedora 24, but the same process should work for the 32GB Emmc/2GB RAM version.

    P.S.

    Bluetooth is still a WIP, I need some more time to firgure out how to get it working.

    I do the first step and it is ok (also "wifi enabled" appears).
    About the second step:
    the brcmfmac43340-sdio.bin already exists.
    but the command 'curl' isn't installed, so "typing sudo apt install curl for install it" but runs an error that isn't possible install curl package ecc. ecc.
    So, through a pendrive, i copy the txt file that I got to github/lattepandateam/ecc. and place it in /lib/firmware/brcm, with the command cp, under the name brcmfmac43340-sdio.txt; i restart the pc but wifi still not working.

    Who can help me? What i have to do?
