Hello All. This is my first post here. I’m very new to Linux and, having looked at one or two distros - Mint, Elementary, Ubuntu - decided to give Manjaro a try. I’ve loaded it as the startup OS on 2008 MacBook where it runs very well. BTW I’m also a complete newbie to the Terminal.
The wi-fi driver b43 is present but seems to be blacklisted. It doesn’t load on startup, but I can load it with: sudo modprobe b43 allhwsupport=1
What I can’t work out is how to get it to load on startup. I’ve tried various commands to try and display blacklisted modules, but none seem to work, the main ones being various configurations of etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (eg with and without sudo) but I always seem to get: No such file or directory.
Any help gratefully received. Below is my system information:
