Broadcom-wl and bluetooth

English Network/Internet
1

Hi,

I realise there are a lot of posts about the broadcom cards, and I have configured these on a few computers now.

This time, I have a (64bit) OpenSuse 11.3 system, with BC3311 card.

I use the broadcom-wl driver that comes with opensuse (also tried ndiswrapper, but that didn’t seem to detect my card this time, strange. Don’t want to do the broadcom linux driver, because I don’t feel like recompiling my kernel). Also installed the bc43 firmware and fwcutter (not the legacy).

Wireless works perfect.

My kbluetooth applet doesn’t detect any bluetooth, it stays dark. I have tried updating the wl driver, but I would have to conclude that this driver does not support bluetooth??

Is there anybody who can verify or even better unverify that? Suggestions? Need any other output?

Thanks!

Hi
Its not turned off? You may need to install rfkill, then;


/usr/sbin/rfkill list

The output of rfkill list:

0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

The switch is most definately turned on :slight_smile: wifi works perfectly. Only no bluetooth devices are detected
