      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.

      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.
