 |
|
Hi all, I'm having some troubles with my wireless, and would like some help.
My card, as the title of this thread says, is the Broadcom 4328 A/B/G/N card.
The laptop originally had Vista on it (HP TX2500 series). I figured before I went to Gentoo, I'd just give Ubuntu a quick try, because it generally seems to recognize hardware and get things up and running pretty quickly. All went well, wireless worked fine after an update.
It was using the "wl" driver on Ubuntu, whatever that is.
Anyway, I've tried about everything I can think of, following all the broadcom guides on the wiki, trying ndiswrapper with different drivers, etc, and still no luck.
Has anyone got this card working on their laptop?
Thanks for any advice.
Dennis

| Nevermind, got it going. I forgot to remove the broadcom wireless drivers from the kernel. After removing them, ndiswrapper was able to recognize the card and it appears that it at least turns wireless on now. |

I found some updated drivers from broadcom 7/1/2008 : http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
Works with:
| Code: |
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x4311, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x4312, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x4313, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x4315, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x4328, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x4329, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x432a, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x432b, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x432c, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x432d, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },

Compiles on 2.6.26 and insmod is good, but my 0x4318 isn't supported. |
