I have followed your suggestion and all seemed fine.
After rebooting I tried to do the modprobe but got the following:
[root at gary ~]# modprobe wl
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Required key not available
[root at gary ~]#
This relates to the secure boot that is mentioned on the page. I therefore
went through the process of disabling secure boot. This consisted of
running:
[root at gary ~]# mokutil --disable-validation
password length: 8~16
input password:
input password again:
[root at gary ~]#
After doing this I rebooted. As part of the reboot I was supposed to be asked
for the password that I had just created but I wasn't. Then, after the reboot
I tried the modprobe command but received the same error message.
Anyone got ideas what I need to do next?
