similar to: CentOS 6, Broadcom, missing wlan0

I have a Broadcom 802.11b/g hardware on my dual-boot laptop. Note first that in the WinXP partition, 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:

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

Dear All, I'm trying to configure wireless card on a Dell Vostro 1540. I had a look at this site : http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom?action=show wireless card :# /sbin/lspci | grep Broadcom 12:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) I decided to follow the ELrepo instructions suggested on the site :

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

Hello all, I'm trying to bridge the wlan0 and eth0 on an embedded system.

Opps! After reading the email below I noticed something in ''ifconfig''. The wireless interface is ''wlan0'' not ''wan0''. I modified the wireless interface in /etc/shorewall/interface to wlan0 started shorewall I can connect eo the INTERNET with shorewall running Horace From: Horace Franklin Jr

Hi, Folks -- I'm setting up an Acer Aspire 5250 as a Christmas gift, CentOS 6 netinstall insists on trying to configure wlan0 but I'm using a wired DSL connection, consequently netinstall fails and only offers the option to Retry. How can I get it to bypass the wlan0 idea and go straight to eth0...? Thanks, -- -- Jeff -- <http://www.wellnow.com> "There's nothing

I'm having a wireless connection issue with an HP laptop and a Zotac media server after the 6.4 package updates from CR repository. Nothing changed with wireless config as far as I can tell. Both have been working fine with previous releases of 6.x. Oddly, if a cat 5 cable is connected for a few seconds and then disconnected the wireless works fine and survives a 'service network

Hello all, I would like to find a soluce fo a very annoying problem I have since I've installed CentOS 5 on my Lenovo R60 Laptop... Everything works correctly excepted a small thing, the nm-applet of NetworkManager-gnome always report my wlan0 in error status, even when my wifi network is connected correctly and working without problem... It behaves as if wlanx intefaces were not recognized

Any hope of getting my laptop's Broadcom BCM94311 wireless running on CentOS 5? I find lots of references to using fwcutter to get the needed firmware from Windows drivers, but there's a Catch-22: Version of fwcutter that generate files for the bcm43xx driver in CentOS 5 don't recognize the md5sum of any currently available Windows driver. Newer versions of fwcutter

Hello there! I was running CentOS 6.4 system on my Dell Latitude E6530 flawlessly, until I upgraded to CentOS 6.5. Now the wifi doesn't show up (it's a Broadcom Wifi BT4313, 14e4:4727), I tried to follow the steps from http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom but when attempting to compile the Broadcom driver module, the make command fails in a way that is not described

Hi everyone! :-) Yesterday I managed to find a driver for my USB wireless dongle, and it is now correctly recognized by the kernel. However, I don't know how to configure it. The system-config-network opens up in text mode and is not very forthcoming (it lists ethernet, ISDN and modem as possibilities for configuring a new device). I don't know how to create an

After following various advice I received on other threads to get the Broadcom wlan0 on my laptop to work I have still not succeeded. Therefore I am changing from CentOS 6.0 to 5.7 . I think that I'll first try the fix at: http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod on 5.7 . Anyone have a reason why I should proceed differently? Thanks, Mike.

Hello CentOS admins. I am an AIX admin bent on learning CentOS. Yesterday I downloaded CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso, burned a DVD and loaded it onto a Lenovo IdeaPad N585 laptop. All went well, except for getting the integrated wireless to work. Here is some info and what I tried so far. # lspci|egrep -i wireless 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless

HI! My goal is to run a virtualized access point with hostapd. Is it possible to use the host's WIFI interface in a VM created with libvirt? I can add the interface in bridged mode but it appears just as normal eth1 without wireless extensions. Ciao, Michael.

On my CentOS 6 laptop, in which the wireless hardware is known to be functional (because it works in the WinXP partition): # ip link shows lo and eth0, but nothing else. Why might this be? Thanks, Mike.
