[CentOS] Centos6.5 -- Broadcom BCM4313 -- having trouble connecting
Dear All,
I'm having trouble on 2 laptops Lenovo B580 since upgrading to Centos6.5.
( Because it's a Lenovo I cannot switch the network card for a better
supported network card. )
There on the latest kernel :
root at jac network-scripts]# uname -a
Linux jac.cawdekempen 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 13
13:06:13 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
With the help of the Elrepo Broadcom page I got the driver and that part
works fine.
The network card works :
# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x4727 (wl)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="c0:14:3d:c1:f6:ef", ATTR{type}=="1",
KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth1"
# uname -a
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr C0:14:3D:C1:F6:EF

But I cannot connect to any wireless network with neither of the machines.
I click on the gnome-nm-applet and type in the password.

googling for "centos6 WPASupplicant.Interface" doesn't

found this bug:

could this be the same issue?

I did build the driver, using wl-kmod-6_30_223_141-2.el6.elrepo.nosrc.rpm <http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/SRPMS/wl-kmod-6_30_223_141-2.el6.elrepo.nosrc.rpm> and hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_141.tar.gz This resulted in kmod-wl-6_30_223_141-2.el6.local.x86_64.rpm which I hope is the latest. This results in a working network card, so that part went fine. I guess the wpa_supplicant is maybe a different issue. Greetings, J.
