Dear all,
I recently installed SUSE 10.3 on my new HP dv2807nr and am having a number of problems getting the wireless setup. I think my machine has either a Broadcom 4310, 4312, or 4315. The reason I'm not sure which card I have is that the driver version in Vista appears to indicate a 4312, but lspci -v shows (for the two networking entries): 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 054c (rev a2) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 30d6 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 4348 Memory at fc488000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] I/O ports at 30f8 [size=8] Memory at fc489c00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Memory at fc489800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask+ 64bit+ Queue=0/3 Enable+ Capabilities: [6c] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping and 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 137c Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 Memory at fc000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information Capabilities: [e8] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint IRQ 0 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 21-00-12-ff-ff-00-b4-65 Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting I've tried setting up the card using the kernel's builtin support (running install_bcm43xx_fireware) and separately through ndiswrapper, but the device never seems to show up. In particular, installing bcml5.inf/bcml5.sys through ndiswrapper does not detect the device. (Though perhaps I downloaded the incorrect version of the driver here, there seem to be quite a few available.) Anyone have any suggestions how to proceed on both determining the exact card/chipset my laptop has and how to configure it? If it helps at all I also seem to be having some weird ethernet configuration issues. In the yast network card configuration program I see three ethernet devices listed, eth0, eth1, and one that seems to increase in number each time I reboot the machine (now at eth7). This later card is frequently listed as unconfigured, but appears to be the interface that is actually being used according to KNetworkManager (it is working as I am writing this on my laptop). All three seem to be using forcedeth. Any suggestions on how to even proceed figuring out what is going on? Thanks for all the help, -Sam |
