I really want to install butterknife, but my wifi is not found. My laptop has no wired network, only wifi. I changed the rfkill in /sys/class/rfkill but still i get the message no network. If I check radio it says that hardware is missing. I have a Mediatek MT7921 card. Works with all distros without problems .
If you do not have an Ethernet port and your Wi-Fi is completely broken, you will need to download the .deb file on another computer (or your phone) and transfer it via a USB flash drive.
1: First, confirm the exact MediaTek chipset (e.g., MT7921, MT7922) by opening your terminal and running:
It would require another computer to download the .deb and transfer it from that PC to a USB drive, then copy it to the PC with Butterbian installed on it. So yes the OS would need to be installed prior to doing this.
I might be a little late to the party, but I found the bug. The live ISO was missing firmware-mediatek, which is exactly where your MT7921’s Wi-Fi firmware lives, so the card came up dead. Nothing you did wrong.
Fixed in butterknife 0.2.11, up now at get.butterbian.org. Grab the new ISO and your Wi-Fi should show up.
Thanks for the report, and for running Butterbian in the meantime!
