Backup of the /lib/firmware/brcm folder containing necessary files to have the Wifi working on many devices including the RockPro64

brcm-backup

What is this ?

This is a backup of the /lib/firmware/brcm folder I had on my RockPro64 while it was running Manjaro. The Wifi was actually working and since I'm very lazy and don't want to waste my time I decided to make a backup of it before switching to another distro.

How to use it ?

I only tested this with the RockPro64 running on Fedora !

1. Make a backup of your /lib/firmware/brcm folder just in case (including the symbolic links !)

   cp -av /lib/firmware/brcm/ $HOME

2. Delete the content of your lib/firmware/brcm folder

   sudo rm -rf /lib/firmware/brcm/*

3. Copy the content of the files folder to your /lib/firmware/brcm one

   sudo cp -av files/* /lib/firmware/brcm/

4. Reboot and the Wifi should be working
