-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I have a HP dv6000 - they're not the same but they look pretty darn similar. I had a very hard time getting the kernel bcm43xx drivers to work - and when they did they didn't work very well (short range was the biggest issue for some reason). I ended up using ndiswrapper. This took me a while to get going as well though, when I used the drivers from the Windows Vista (64bit) install that came with it they didn't work. I ended up finding some one the net, if you want to try it I've uploaded the .inf to http://rapidshare.com/files/67451529/bcmwl5.inf.html
Make sure you have all the kernel options for bcm43xx disabled if you go the way of ndiswrapper, and make sure you still have all the wireless options you'll need. Then just ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf; modprobe ndiswrapper, and go from there. Getting ndiswrapper to work with wpa_supplicant also kinda threw me, in /etc/conf.d/net had: wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dndiswrapper - -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" but needed: wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" Hope this helps Unknown wrote: > On Sun, 4 Nov 2007 15:27:48 +0100 > Beso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> what bmc board do you have? try a lspci and tell us what board you >> have. some bcm boards do work fine with their native linux driver. > > On the back of the chip: BCM4311KFBG > > lspci -nn: > > 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation Unknown device > 4311 [14e4:4311] (rev 02) > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHLiTC9BUXz6eNIHURCufUAJ9EChQWwkpOT000TJFgArt2XBikrgCglf9/ STNARiyTb/8AoADkXkgPVig= =uO/f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
