...on, the wifi makes DHCP connections to my router with no problem. Since this was not working in my new CentOS 6 partition, and remembering that there was a driver problem with the old Fedora partition it replaced, I followed instructions founs at: http://repecka.net/en/2011/04/19/install-broadcom-bcm4311-802-11bg-wlan- drivers-on-centos/ and http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt modifying for that fact that I use wlan0 rather than eth1. The wifi is now dead-in-the-water. The wlan light now remains red, and neither ifconfig nor iwconfig show any sign of wlan0 (contra to the situation...

Been experimenting with CentOS 5.4 some more. In order to get my wireless card to work (Broadcom BCM4311) I need Broadcom's wl.ko driver (http:// www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php). It compiles fine after the necessary modification in typedef.h, loads and wireless works. However, as soon as I put some load on that interface (scp something from another machine, download something wit...

Hi folks, as some of you probably know, there's been some input lately from the community in regard to the aforementioned Wiki page. I temporarily got my hands on a piece of hardware equipped with BCM4311 so I can test the latest driver - and came to a conclusion that it doesn't work at all - it does load with the dependencies, but WiFi won't activate. Now, I have an older driver version (5.10.91.9 - x86_64) that works nicely in my possession - a leftover from the time when the manual w...

In fact, I'm using it on my laptop as we speak. On my CentOS 6, with BCM4311 802.11b/g. I installed: hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz With NetworkManager shut off, I see: #lsmod | grep "b43\|ssb\|wl" wl 2635904 0 lib80211 4858 1 wl and I try to start with: ifup wlan0 I put debug in the script, follow...

I'm migrating my son's Dell laptop from Vista to CentOS 5.3. He came back from each of his first two years of college loaded with virii and trojans. This year he said "Dad, can you give me Linux?" 5.3 went onto the laptop easily and after doing some research, I applied the guidance for getting multimedia working and got the nvidia driver loaded. That works great. Last

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
