Hey does anyone have any tips on getting the WiFi working on my new Intel NUC with the Broadwell Core i3 chipset? I'm trying to run a recent build of Chromium OS from Arnold the Bat. It boots up nicely but WiFi isn't working. I tried Arnolds newest special build, which might have working wireless drivers for my machine but my hardware won't boot it past the Chromium logo screen. Any ideas? 

Thanks!

Which NUC do you have?

Just to clarify, I got two different daily builds from Arnold the Bat to boot up but not connect to WiFi. The special build wouldn't boot past the Chromium logo screen.

Okay... can you do this on your special build?

1. Switch the console (Ctrl-Alt-F2)
2. Log in as user chronos (you dont have a pw i think, if you haven't built the image yourself)
3. Try to copy /var/log/dmesg to a stick or whatever and post it in the group.

As I mentioned, the special build didn't boot past the Chromium logo screen, but a couple of daily builds did. I'll try to get you that info from the daily builds. Thanks!
