Hey,
I have an dell inspiron 600m currently and I can’t seem to get the wireless drivers to work because it has no internet. It seems that the hardware of the built in wired internet is broken so I have no internet on the computer and there is no way to get internet until the broadcom drivers are installed for the wireless.
I know about the /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware and I have tried running it but unfortunately it points to a url to get the specified wireless drivers. I have tried navigating to that url to get the file to install the driver on another internet endowed computer and it has not worked.
Moral of the story is can someone hook me up with the following files so I can basically run the script offline because I can’t seem to find them:
File 1:
http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5
Firmware 1:
http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.p
File 2
http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
Please help this is driving me crazy. Maybe theres some other way to do it too that I just don’t know about. If so please enlighten me.
I’m running the inspiron 600m with a 32 bit version of openSuse 11.1.
Thanks
