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
