This device is thus disconnected from the internet.CC:

bjarne.thomsen Can you also attach dmesg output of lsusb output of journalctl -b CC:

tmb Ok. According to Tom's Hardware, Wireless networking for the Compute Stick is provided an Azurewave AW-NB177NF M.2 Wi-Fi module. It's a single-band, 802.11 b/g/n that runs in the 2.4 GHz range, while also providing Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. Also the ubuntu version is first expected in June, and it has 1GB RAM, only, instead of the 2GB in this device. So I prefer this one. (If it could be connected to the internet) Hm, going by Intel specs: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/stck1a32wfc/sb/CS-035452.htm it seems to be a: AzureWave* AW-NB177NF via Realtek* RTL8723BS Wireless/Bluetooth SoC I wonder if there is any valid firmwares out there for it... there seems to be a driver here: https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs And I see Larry is working on getting it to staging: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bs Created attachment 6466 [details]

r8723bs module
As root, save the attached module to:
/lib/modules/3.19.4-desktop-2.mga5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
then do:
depmod -a
modprobe r8723bs
Can you then configure wireless ?
if not, attach dmesg output after you tested the modprobe.

modprobe:ERROR: Unknown symbol in module
depmod:ERROR: failed to load symbols from .... : Input/output error
modprobe:ERROR: could not insert 'r8723bs' Unknown symbol in module
Why does the terminal close when I try to use ls?
Hm, the live boot is not really in good shape on that... "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read ..." So depmod fails and then also the modprobe. Could you try to recreate the stick you are booting from and see if the squashfs errors goes away The live boot was from a DVD. I have only one available USB stick. I am going to install from the classical DVD onto a MicroSD that I am going to buy. It works! I installed from Mageia-5-RC-x86_64-DVD onto mmcblk1 which is my new MicroSD card. I then re-booted Mageia from the MicroSD card (by pressing F10). I then copied the r8723bs driver from the USB stick, and ran depmod -a modprobe r8723bs I then used the MCC to configure the Wireles connection to my Acces Point. So the Intel Compute stick is now running Mageia5, provided it is installed on an add-on MicroSD. It is only possible to install ubuntu 14.04 LTS on mmcblk0. Avesome, I will merge the driver in next kernel build... commit 622929eb39cc00ea8c0bbf439e4703fec4a6a21c
