I have broadcom 4312 chips,wifi was working in 4.1.3 with Packman driver,after upgrade to KDE4.2,I found a new version driver also in Packman,but it doesn’t work… and that new driver just 19KB in Packman repo,is it normal? How to fix it? >:(
That broadcom wl hybrid driver doesn’t work,I installed bcm43xx firmware with console,not working also… >:(
Output of /sbin/lspci :
09:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
Output of /sbin/lspci -n :
09:00.0 0280: 14e4:4315 (rev 01)
0a:00.0 0200: 10ec:8136 (rev 02)
Nothing like ‘b43phy…’ in dmesg.

Did you think to read any of the postings? As I have stated many, many
times, the 0x4315 devices are not yet working with b43. You need to
use either the wl hybrid driver or ndiswrapper. Setting them up is an
exercise for you. Both are adequately described on the forum!
Yes I’ve installed that hybrid driver,not yet install ndiswrapper,coz many said it will cause system problem.
Additional info,after I installed bcm43xx driver,I do this in console according to a thread :
/sbin/modprobe -rv b43
/sbin/modprobe -v b43
Any bad effect with it?
Ok,my wifi finally works,with boot in Debug option.
Wonder y it not work in normal boot option…

I don’t know. What does dmesg have to say when you boot normally?
in dmesg,none of a line talk about my wifi or something like phy b43…
