17:14 <rowanG337> tpw_rules: I'm very happy you updated nixos-apple-silicon. I'm currently trying to install nixos on my M2 Max MBP. I am in the live environment of nixos and modified my nix config. But wifi does not seem to work.

17:14 <rowanG337> I get periodic "brcmf_escan_timeout: timer expired" messages

17:15 <rowanG337> In iwctl running "station wlan0 show" shows the properties. Scanning: No and State: disconnected.

17:16 <rowanG337> I expect something is going on with the WIFI driver but I'm not sure how to proceed here

17:19 <rowanG337> Would you have any clue?

17:56 <rowanG337> I will try to install fedora to see if the issue persists there

18:27 <rowanG337> I installed Fedora. Wifi works. BUT in dmesg there is still "brcmf_escan_timeout: timer expired" a few times.

18:27 <rowanG337> So that may not be the root cause

18:47 <kdb424> Any tips on how to recover from an unbootable (linux) system? I have no USB input as of uboot, nor grub. I can boot recovery or Mac just fine, USB/trackpad working in recovery, but once uboot takes over, I can't interrupt or kernel switch in grub to something working. M1 mac mini, tried several USB cables/adapters/ports both A and C.

19:29 <mps> kdb424: maybe you could fix u-boot from macos, it is on vfat type partition which is accessible from macos

19:38 <rowanG337> Oke I removed fedora and booted the USB nixos installer again. Now wifi works.

19:58 <kdb424> Looks like it was my keyboard. It hates my ZMK keyboardss, some of my QMK keyboards (though not all) and all of my KMK keyboards. Glad I have literally piles of keyboards. Thanks for the help mps

19:59 <janneg> kdb424: you backup your $ESP/m1n1/boot and try to replace it with https://de.mirror.asahilinux.org/os/uefi-only-20231012-1.zip - no guarantees whether it works with your kernel. ah nevermind

20:00 <kdb424> I got it booting. I still have no clue why I can't get a kernel to compile properly for m1. May mess with nixos before goin back to Gentoo
