Dear All,
I'm having trouble on 2 laptops Lenovo B580 since upgrading to Centos6.5.
( Because it's a Lenovo I cannot switch the network card for a better
supported network card. )
There on the latest kernel :
root@jac network-scripts]# uname -a
Linux jac.cawdekempen 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 13
13:06:13 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
With the help of the Elrepo Broadcom page I got the driver and that part
works fine.
The network card works :
# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x4727 (wl)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="c0:14:3d:c1:f6:ef", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth1"
# uname -a
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr C0:14:3D:C1:F6:EF
inet6 addr: fe80::c214:3dff:fec1:f6ef/64 Scope:Link

But I cannot connect to any wireless network with neither of the machines.
I click on the gnome-nm-applet and type in the password.

googling for "centos6 WPASupplicant.Interface" doesn't exist#012" I
found this bug:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5834
could this be the same issue?
Greetings, J.
