Yes, but like 10 years ago. That was probably the last time I ripped out chunks of hair and snapped off teeth trying to configure a half supported broadcom wireless card.

I rarely have WiFi issues on Linux. At least not with internal WiFi cards. USB ones can sometimes be a problem, but not often.

I just add this to my system config:

networking.wireless = {
  enable = true;
  networks = import ./networks.nix;
};

Then I define my networks in a gitignored file and I’m good to go.

it’s the never ending cycle, we struggle getting wifi to work and then laugh at windows users trying to get windows to work

Every kernel update on Ubuntu kills my wifi driver. So I automatically recompile and add my new driver…same driver each gaddam time. But it’s not an ad 😂 lol.
