Subject: How to get BRCM to work?
Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2013 14:51:11 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131104115111.GM26669@mwanda> (raw)

I've been trying to remember the trick to get BRCM to work and I can't
remember at all.  I'm using BCM4313.  I've enabled everything with BCMA
or BRCM in the config name.

The module loads and the device shows up if I type "ifconfig wlan0" but
network manager doesn't see it and wicd doesn't see it.  (These are old
versions of nm and wicd).

This used to work under 3.8 but I didn't save my .config...  :(

I've done a google search and it seems like the broadcom driver is still
a complete mess and you need to black list modules and hack everything
yourself on a per system basis?  Is that right?  Why can't we fix this
so it works?

regards,
dan carpenter
