can you provide either "lspcidrake -v" or "lspci -vnn" for that device
# lspcidrake -v |grep Broadcom
wl : Broadcom Corporation | BCN4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [NETWORK_OTHER]
(vendor:14e4 device:4315 subv:14e4 subd:04b5) (rev 1)
That's it
Thanks. that shows the subvendor/device ids.
The 4312 ones are problematic iirc...
Now for some tests...
In which mode do you want me to do that ?
- live mode
This wont work as you need to reboot to make sure the hw is in "good
state" , wich will make the "uninstall part" useless.
Ok, that was clear.
- installed without net access (through additional cable)
- installed with net access (through additional cable) ?
you dont need cable access for the first part (1-4) but need
cable access (or beta1 install dvd) for second part (5-8)
after configuration step you obviously need to disconnect the
cable to verify that it works with wireless.
And you dont need to do a new install to test this,
a current installed/updated cauldron system should be enough.
Ah, I need to do a new because I only have one system with this device
:( So I just start from fresh,
- first with non-free disabled and reboot,
- then non-free enabled with reboot
Hm, is that system running mga2 ?
I wonder if I should create 2 test livecds to ease testing
right now, one without broadcom-wl, and the other
with broadcom-wl and in-kernel drivers blacklisted...
