I have completed a LFS-6.8 build and it actually boots and functions :) I have it on a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop which has a broadcomm b44 ethernet adapter and a B43 wireless adapter. I used to run Arch linux on this laptop with the wireless fully usable/functional.
I have the B44 ethernet working and would like to get the wireless functional. Does LFS-6.8 support wireless out of the box with just wireless_tools and the firmware installed? Here is what I have so far iwfconfig shows wlan0 is available ip link shows 2: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAR,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 1000 ip link set wlan0 up responds with [ 24.321056] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 478.104 (2008-07-01 00:50:23) ip link shows 2: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 1000 iwlist wlan0 scan responds with wlan0 No scan results It looks like the wireless interface is still down Is there something I am missing? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
