OpenSUSE Wireless :: Get Broadcom BCM4328 To Work Properly On 11.2

Feb 3, 2010

I have been trying to get my Broadcom BCM4328 to work properly on openSUSE 11.2 (kernel 2.6.31.5). Finally, after installing the wl kernel module, I managed to get it working when a run the following commands after a reboot:

sudo /sbin/modprobe -r b43 b44 ssb wl
sudo /sbin/modprobe wl
sudo /sbin/modprobe b44
sudo /etc/init.d/network restart

My question is how can I automate the above commands, i.e. create a startup script to initialise the wireless adapter properly without the need to manually reload the kernel modules?

General :: Broadcom BCM4328 Wireless Adapter Not Supporting Monitor Mode Using WL And B44?

Feb 8, 2009

A friend of mine has a Dell XPS1530 lappy that has a broadcom bcm4328 wireless adapter. I tried installing kismet on it so I can scan for wireless network in range. I configured it with the source driver as bcm43xx in kismet.conf and complained that the driver didn't support monitor mode. It uses the proprietary 'wl' kernel module to operate but kismet can't use the 'wl' module and it says the same error. I tried unloding the wl and b44 modules and loding the b43 driver but then the adapter stoped working. I searched on the net a bit and found out that kisment doesn't work with the prorpietary drivers for that card.

General :: Lost (wired) Eth0 After Installing Broadcom Bcm4328 Wireless Card / What To Do?

Dec 31, 2009

I have a dell mp1210 xps laptop. I just recently installed installed Ubuntu 9.10 and am very green. With difficulty I managed to install the drivers for the wireless card and now have wireless on the laptop. In order to get the wireless working I had to restart my computer, and once it booted up again the wireless works, but there is no trace of eth0-my wired network device (Broadcom BCM4401-B0) which was working fine before I got the wireless adapter working. Lspci still shows the device as it did when it was functioning, but ifconfig only shows my local loopback and wlan0 (my wireless device). I am not sure how eth0 got deleted, I am wondering if maybe I have to set up some sort of switching between the wired and wireless adapters so they are not both active at the same time. Any suggestions would be really nice, I have been digging through the forums, but I am unsure of what went wrong or what to do about it.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Cannot Get Broadcom WiFi To Work At All

Oct 5, 2010

I've been reading up on how to get the Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g on my Dell Inspiron 1525 to work with OpenSUSE and I've tried everything, I've even re-installed the OS 3 times as I seemed to keep screwing something up. I've tried doing what it says in this thread
Install Broadcom Drivers from Packman
I thought I'd installed the write drivers with this code:

OpenSUSE Wireless :: B43 Soon To Work For 802.11n Broadcom Devices?

Dec 7, 2010

For those of you that prefer open-source solutions, the b43 code to drive BCM432X 802.11n devices has just come to life. It can now scan and associate. Tests for throughput will come soon. These revisions to the driver will be in kernel 2.6.38, thus not in openSUSE until the next release after 11.4.

Debian Configuration :: Broadcom BCM4328 Cannot Find Wifi Network

Feb 7, 2010

I'm installing Squeeze on on a Dell Latitude D830 laptop with a Broadcom BCM4328 wireless network card, and I'm stuck on getting wireless internet to work. I have the 2.6.32-trunk-686-bigmem kernel. I run KDE and I have knetworkmanager installed to sort the network connections out. Unfortunately, knetworkmanager cannot find any wireless networks for eth2 (the wireless adapter). There is a wireless network, as other equipment can still connect to it.

I've installed the broadcom-sta drivers according to http://wiki.debian.org/wl. When I run iwconfig, I receive the following output: eth2 IEEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Frequency: 2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate: 14 Mb/s Tx-Power:off Retry min limit: 7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power ManagementMode: All packages received Link Quality=5/5 Signal level=0 dBm Noise Level=0 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 missed beacon:0

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Broadcom WiFi Card Ceased To Work After Upgrading To 11.4

Apr 5, 2011

I recently installed Suse 11.4 on my Dell Latitude 2110 netbook using the KDE live distribution, and, after that, the Broadcom wireless ceased to work. To enable the wireless connection, I have to press Fn + F6. If I do it now, the wireless led indicator turns on for a couple of seconds, then turns off again. Moreover, the option to enable the wireless connection in the network manager is greyed out

I decided to start of with Debian. I'm having trouble getting my wireless connection to work. I think i need drivers or something, i can't make a wireless connection. And it is a bit difficult for me, as i am new to Linux, and I'm not sure what I'm doing when i am writing these commands.

My wireless card is a Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n

I have been using Raspberry PI a little, so i am familiar with the terminal.

Ubuntu Networking :: Broadcom Wireless Doesn't Work

May 20, 2010

I'm working on Lucid, in HP Pavilion 9730us laptop.

My wireless broadcom card was working just fine until now as i installed it with the Hardware Devices manager, Today i put a new ALFA AWUS036H usb card to work with aircrack. both cards were working together for a while, but as i started playing around with aircrack the broadcom card of the HP has stopped working.

I made a mistake and followed the aircrack tutorial for R8187 / ieee80211 stacks driver, while i'm using RTL 8187 / mac80211 stack drivers, and blacklisted the RTL8187 , rebooted and then both card didn't work. I un-blacklisted it, and the ALFA is working but the broadcom not!

iwconfig shows me only one wireless card on wlan0 the blue light showing activity in the HP card doesn't go on.

Tried to uninstall and reinstall broadcom drivers, still no change.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Does Not Work (Broadcom BCM4312)

Jul 28, 2010

I've just installed Ubuntu on 2 computers, and I'm new to it. However I'm not new to computers. The problem I'm currently running into on one of the computers is that the wireless will not detect any connections, despite there being many. The computer is a HP Compaq v6203AU using the wireless card Broadcom BCM4312 [14e4:4312]. I've went through dozens of walkthroughs, encountering errors in every single one of them, I've spent 8 hours on this one problem and extremely frustrated. It seem to be a problem with the driver that comes as default, and I'm lost at what to do.

The terminal command "lspci -nn | grep 14e4" returns the following:
03:00.0 Network Controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4312]

ifconfig returns the following:

The computer has no internet access as there is nowhere to connect except through wireless.

Ubuntu Networking :: Kernel 2.6.38-x And BCM4328 Wireless Card On Lucid?

Feb 23, 2011

I am having some issues getting the broadcom sta driver installed on Kernels 2.6.36 up through 2.6.38.

Before I continue, I'll list my specs
Release: Xubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (64-Bit)
Wireless Card: Broadcom BCM4328
Kernel: 2.6.38-x (Any version), and 2.6.36 and above

EDIT: Yes! Yes! I got it to work, for those that are having issues, install this packages. Disregard that it says that there is an older version available in a software. The bcmwl-kernel-source for Natty works on Lucid![URL]... Install one of these and check your Hardware Drivers, they will probably say that the Broadcom STA driver is installed but not in use. If you then proceed to restart it should be up and running, this way you can use kernels 2.6.36+ and still use the Broadcom STA driver!

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Can't Connect Wireless On Broadcom - How To Conncet It

Jan 16, 2010

I recently bought Dell Studio 15 laptop, installed OpenSUSE11.2/64 in addition to Win7 64 bit. I am trying to connect it to my wireless network at home and at work, but without much luck.

1)Found out that Dell 1520 WLAN adapter has Broadcom 4353 chipset.
2)saw that b43-fwcutter installed
3)installed broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop

After that can see many wireless Access Points at home,selected one via NetworkManager (eth1), configured it (incl. security same as in Win7), it goes from Activating to Active, but I still can not connect - I mean, in the FireFox - "page not found"

iwlist scan (for my desired AP):
Cell 03 - Address: 00:E0:98:FA:5D:1A
ESSID:"Blackhawk"
Mode:Managed

I can easily connect to WLAN at home and at work in Win7.

Debian Hardware :: Installing Driver For Broadcom Wireless Card Doesn't Work

I'm very new to Debian (and Linux in general), and am currently taking a Linux course at college... I'm trying to get Debian running on my MacBook Pro (late 2009 model) and it's been complicated but I've got the operating system installed on it... I'm just having a few problems, the biggest right now of which is my wireless card, which doesn't work. So, I found instructions on the Debian Wiki for getting the driver for it, but it's not compiled already and I have little knowledge of manually installing stuff through Linux...

OpenSUSE Wireless :: 11.2 Recognizing My Broadcom Adapter ?

Dec 14, 2009

I'm having some issues with openSUSE 11.2 recognizing my Broadcom adapter. Following the instructions in the two stickied topics, I can find the adapter both under YaST's Hardware Summary and using the console command /sbin/lspci. I cannot, however, find it with /sbin/lspci -n, and the boot log (viewed with dmesg | less) makes no mention of it either.

Do I need to turn it on or something? This is a dual boot machine, and it works fine under Windows, so I don't think there's a hardware failure at play here.

I tried disabling WPA on the router, but then the connection hangs at "Configuring interface" instad. I also tried with ifup, but I'm not sure I configured everything correctly. I don't get any smarter from the NetworkManager logs, maybe someone else can decipher them? tail -50 when connection doesn't work:
