Hi! Just for clarity -- is this the A1278?
Bluetooth: it won't work. OpenBSD simply does not have any Bluetooth support since 5.5. WiFi - this is very often an issue with Apple hardware. Some cards are supported by the `bwfm` firmware, and if your model uses a PCIe connector then you can usually replace it. However the connector on the Airport card in this model seems a very tricky one, although it's supposed to be PCIe, the connector is entirely proprietary. And the BCM4322 chipset isn't supported by `bwfm`. Your best bet is a USB WiFi dongle, I had very good results with a Realtek RTL8188FTV ($8 on eBay or so). The NVIDIA GeForce 9400m you have in your machine should be supported by the `nv` firmware. If you can plug in via Ethernet, then run `fw_update` as root and it will fetch all drivers it can. Alternatively you can download them from https://firmware.openbsd.org/firmware/7.6/, put them on an USB stick, mount the usb drive, then run `fw_update -p /mnt` or wherever you mounted your usb. OpenBSD uses `xenocara` to manage X, you will need to probably configure that. Unless you specified on install, it won't start automatically. Unfortunately I can't advise on the camera. I hope this helps. rqm On Fri, 25 Apr 2025 22:57:58 -0600 latin...@resist.ca wrote: > Hello > I did a 7.6 installation in a macbook pro MID 2009, without a > problem; but Xs system, BRC4322, bluetooth, and camera are not > working! > > I need only the Xs system and wifi, because it is what i am going to > use for 1 vmd server and 3 VMs (my main laptop is dead).
