Message-ID: <20131104115111.GM26669@mwanda> (sfid-20131104_125131_815691_0892FC84) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 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
