OK, kind of new to this, but here I go.
Downloaded Linux-2.6.17.11 kernel.
During "make menuconfig" added the following options to the kernel .config
file:
Networking -->
Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack
IEEE 802.11i TKIP encryption
Software MAC add-on to the IEEE 802.11 networking stack
Device Drivers -->
Network device support -->
Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) -->
Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio)
Broadcom BCM43xx wireless support
Broadcom BCM43xx debugging
BCM43xx data transfer mode (DMA + PIO)
Downloaded firmware files from:
wget
http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/dapper-cafuego/bcm43xx/bcm43xx-firmware_1.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb
Added all firmware from deb package to /lib/firmware
made the kernel "make && make modules_install && make install"
Everything went well. No errors and everything installed.
rebooted machine, and had to load bcm43xx module for wirless\bcm43xx
directory "modprobe -i bcm43xx"
lsmod | grep bcm43xx
bcm43 397056 0
ieee80211softmac 25728 1 bcm43xx
ieee80211 41068 2 ieee80211softmac
firmware_class 9856 2 bcm43xx,pcmcia
dmesg | tail
ieee80211_crypt: registerd algorith 'NULL'
ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.7
ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corp
bcm43xx driver
But "ifconfig -a" only shows "lo", and "iwconfig" shows only "lo", no other
devices.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly apperciated.
Thanks,
Dave R.
