Broadcom BCM43224

[urfey]

When I try initial setup,Qubes always freeze at networking setup.
So I didn't coufigure anything. Then I created sys-net and sys-firewall manually.
But when I started the VMs,it freezed again.

I think it happens because of my wireless device.My wireless device is Broadcom BCM43224.

How can I solve this problem?

Did you install the corresponding Broadcom firmware for that card? I don't have experience with that card, but if your sys-net VM is Debian based, instructions here:
https://wiki.debian.org/brcm80211

If it's Fedora based, it might be a bit harder and you might have to extract that firmware yourself. Try one of the Broadcom packages here first, though:

NO I didn't install yet. But I want to try.
But sys-net doesn't start at all. If I try to start,Qubes freezes.
Should I install the firmware into dom0?
Is it not dengerous to connect to internet directly from dom0?

That won't work. If your machine doesn't have an alternative network card, then you could try downloading the firmware package from another computer and copying it over with a USB flash drive or similar.

If you're starting from scratch, I'd suggest making sys-net a Debian-based VM. It looks like getting the proper firmware on that platform might be a little easier than it would be on Fedora.
