Re: [Trisquel-users] Broadcom wifi
Yes, I know it. Almost all Broadblob cards need blobs. Lenovo Thinkpads implements whitelist DRM.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Broadcom wifi
Proprietary driver for any recent Broadcomm wireless card. Get Atheros of some kind, but keep in mind some manufacturers implement BIOS whitelist of cards so your computer might fail to boot of you violate the whitelist.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Broadcom wifi
Confirmed, Broadblob working without blob. With Trisquel7-64, default kernel, working out of the box. Linux vita-iMac 3.13.0-88-lowlatency #135+7.0trisquel2 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 10 07:03:04 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11a/b/g (rev 01)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Broadcom wifi
The text in the openfwwf readme continues "While it might work with later core revisions as well, their RF behaviour is not validated and might damage the hardware or violate frequency spectrum regulations." So if it's not rev 1, there could be issues. Having said that I would believe it works but might not work perfectly.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Broadcom wifi
Mine is BCM4311, WI1 chip1: Broadcom BCM4311. From iMac5,2 1195. Shout it work with Trisquel out of the box? Or should I replace it directly with Atheros one?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Broadcom wifi
Only some very old as far as I know using openfwwf: Broadcom AirForce wlan chipsets: * BCM4306 * BCM4311 revision 1 * BCM4318 * BCM4320
Re: [Trisquel-users] Broadcom wifi
It says, that some Broadblobs work without non-free firmwares: https://h-node.org/wifi/catalogue/en/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/undef/undef?search_string=bcm943=Search
Re: [Trisquel-users] Broadcom wifi
Afaik no broadcom works at all.

Hi, I couldn't find on h-node that chip, does this Broadblob wifi chip work with free software? https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Apple_BCM94311MCAG
