Hi there
Can anyone please help me.
I have never been able to get Tails to work on my Macbook Pro 14.1 2017 - especially the wifi (Broadcom). I have tried multiple times following various guides on Github etc. but I am obviously doing something wrong and I'm now wondering if it is that the fact that machine is running the following firmware - Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (7.77.111.1 AirPortDriverBrcmNIC-1615.1) - which is simply incompatible no matter what I do.
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can give?
Cheers,

Thanks mate. You're right, macs are shiiit for most things opsec wise. I had another laptop but it's just died on me and so was hoping I could get tails working on a macbook I have while i get it replaced. Funds are a bit tight right now!

well if the wifi thing dont pop up at all it could be incompatable nothin you can do about it but IF it has a cable to connect somekind of wifi or hotspot to it may work but again ive never tried i just know i had a computer that wasnt mac and i had wifi problems cause the wifi card wasnt compatible

Problem solved...forgot about an old 2014 HP i3 laptop I had. Tried tails in it and it works perfectly straight out of the box!
