Hi all,
I'm a complete newbie in Linux and am trying to get my Broadcom BCM4313
working in my Lenovo S10-3t netbook (CentOS 6.3 installed from LiveCD).
I followed the steps in the wiki, which lead me to ELRepo: wl-kmod. I
followed the instructions there until Step 2:
$ mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SPECS,SOURCES,SRPMS}
$ echo -e "%_topdir $(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild\n%dist .el$(lsb_release -s
-r|cut -d"." -f1).local" >> ~/.rpmmacros
Then I got stuck with this message:
bash: lsb_release: command not found
Next, I tried using the driver from Broadcom site, and ended up with this
message:
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-279.el6.i686'
CFG80211 API is prefered for this kernel version

I'm pretty much totally stuck now, as I have no idea what I'm doing at
all
. Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance!

Would really appreciate any help.Trying to install something from another distro's always problematical, given variances in numbering and dependencies. The "missing module license" implies there's something not d/l, and if you'd been in a debian/ubuntu system, and used apt-get, you'd have gotten it. I did some googling, and found <http://ktaraghi.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-install-broadcom-bcm4311-bcm4312.html>. Personally, since it's a system driver, I'd sudo -s, mkdir /usr/local/src, and do the work in there. Other than than, and it's from this year, you might have better results. mark

Also, if you follow the instructions in there, you will NOT be building the module as root. Mark has noted these points in his reply. So, please go through the wiki carefully and try not to skip any steps. Will you also show us the output returned by : lspci -nn | grep -i net I'd like to see the vendor:device pairing. Akemi
