I’ve tryed the new firmware as mentioned in https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/484106-Broadcom-firmware-is-needed-for-b43-but-I-have-no-network-an-easierwork-around but there is still the same error.

Do you restart the PC or do you unload bcma and load wl?

7

Both tested. After restart nothing is loaded. “modprobe -v wl” gives no response.

After current Tumbleweed updates and reboot:

What should I do next?
How can I define that the driver is insmoded automatically at boot?
Do I need to address this device in NetworkManager?[/size][/size]

Try to delete broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-kmp

No.

Hmm. What does that tell me?

Try my Package, but you have to rebuild it.
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sauerland/Kernel_stable_standard/src/broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-39.121.src.rpm

This package is build for Kernel of the kernel:stable Repo and not for Tumbleweed.
But you can build it by:

rpmbuild --rebuild broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-39.121.src.rpm

You need kernel-default-devel, make gcc to build it.

After Building, you will get the 2 rpms to install.

I build no packages for Tumbleweed.

Done. But unfortunately I’ve got the same error.

I have build it new, also for Tumbleweed, try it:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sauerland:/branches:/home:/Sauerland/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/

But I have no Hardware to see, if it is working.

Unfortunately the same error:


# dmesg | grep wl
    4.021704] wl: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
    4.021707] wl: module license 'MIXED/Proprietary' taints kernel.

Bought such Broadcom Card:

Installed the broadcom-wl from my Repo, no Errors:

dmesg | grep wl
    6.524438] wl: module license 'MIXED/Proprietary' taints kernel.

Switched to Networkmanager, enabled the Wlan and disabled the Lan, and all is working.

Also switched to wicked back and the Wlan is also working.

But important:
I am on Leap42.2 not Tumbleweed.

Here is my output:

No kernel driver in use.

Currently installed the broadcom-wl from Packman Repo, with Errors:

I’m using Networkmanager, but cannot enable the Wlan. Perhaps i don’t know how to do?

What about with this one:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sauerland:/branches:/home:/Sauerland/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/

Its the same as I installed.
