The b43-firmware AUR package contains the open-source, reverse-engineered firmware for the chipset. There are two major options to get this chipset working in Arch Linux:

The Macbook Pro 10,x comes with the Broadcom BCM4331 Wireless Chipset. If you want to boot automatically to Arch, append -setBoot.Īfter another reboot, you should be able to select your installed Arch Linux by keeping the alt button pressed while booting in case you have not used -setBoot while blessing. Īfter creating the files, use bless on the GRUB image on the partition. Follow the steps on this page to create the files needed to make the Apple boot loader pick up GRUB. The HFS partition should be mounted and the GRUB standalone image in there. Downside of this method is that you need to repeat this step whenever you want to change the GRUB config. It is important to cd into the right directory to make it pick up the config file and put it into the right place within the image.Ĭopy this file to the HFS partition you have created earlier. This will create file called grub-standalone-x86_64.efi which contains GRUB and the config file. Grub-mkstandalone -o grub-standalone-x86_64.efi -d usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi -O x86_64-efi -C xz boot/grub/grub.cfg Now cd into /tmp/install/ and create the GRUB image by calling: Also append noapic to the kernel line again. Edit /tmp/install/boot/grub/grub.cfg and edit the boot entry to load Linux mainline instead of the normal one.

Simply install refind and enable the scan_all_linux_kernels and also_scan_dirs options in nf (see Arch boot process#Boot loader for instructions).Īnother solution is to install GRUB. Do not worry about any errors we will create the bootable EFI image on our own afterwards.Īfter the installation has completed, directly copy the Wi-Fi firmware to the installed system to /tmp/install/usr/lib/firmware/.Īlternatively, install broadcom-wl-dkms to improve Wi-Fi.Īs of August 2013, rEFInd can autodetect the Arch kernel, removing the need for copying the kernel into the EFI system partition. When choosing the bootloader, select GRUB, and install it. The rest of the installation is pretty much the same as usual. This is where you put the standalone GRUB package after the installation. When asked to partition your hard drive, create a small HFS partition. Note: Refer to the Mac page if you do not want to have a separate partition for GRUB but rather prefer to use rEFInd. Select the live USB with the arrow keys, and press Enter to boot into the live Arch Linux environment.Ĭopy the entire folder with the firmware for your wireless card to /usr/lib/firmware/. After a few seconds, you should see Apple's boot loader display the choice of either starting up the built-in drive with OS X or the USB drive you plugged in. Hold the option key, then press the power button.
In the end, you should have a folder named b43 with a lot of.

You can just copy it from another b43-enabled Arch, extract it from Broadcom's driver using b43-fwcutter, or get the firmware through the b43-firmware AUR package. In order for the Wi-Fi chipset to work, you need to get the firmware for it. You can either create your Linux partition directly here, or do that later in Linux during the installation (using parted and mkfs).
