CentOS - Dec 2014 - Broadcom wireless card: installation script for Linux-STA driver

Hi,

I just installed CentOS 6.6 on my HP Pavilion DM1 laptop. The wireless 
card is only poorly supported in the default setup, so I decided to 
write an installation script for the Linux-STA driver, which works 
perfectly.

https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/blob/master/6.x/broadcom-sta/broadcom-sta.sh

Grab the files:

# git clone https://github.com/kikinovak/centos

Run the script:

# cd centos/6.x/broadcom-sta
# broadcom-sta.sh

Reboot and you're ready to go.

Cheers,

Niki

Did you try the drivers provided by elrepo?

No. I read the CentOS wiki page here, which states that ELRepo doesn't 
provide these drivers due to licence restrictions, and that the user has 
to build them manually.

Do you know if this is a complete list of devices with which your script 
should work?
