#1 Re: Help & Support (Stable) » Statler r20110207, liquorix, and bcm43xx » 2011-02-26 00:43:40

Thanks to everyone for all the replies.

Something I failed to mention: the card works fine before the liquorix install, but not after. Even the blue LED on the wireless status indicator fails to come on; it stays orange (meaning the wireless card is off or disabled).


snowpine:
I am positive my chipset is the bcm 4312 with integrated bluetooth.
I have also searched around forums for days and nothing has provided a fix.


logs_con:
I attempted following that how-to before, but I could not get the broadcom-sta package to compile at step 4:

4.  Build and install a broadcom-sta-modules-* package for your system, using Module-Assistant:

m-a a-i broadcom-sta

The error I got is the same as the one posted on the liquorix forums here.
So instead I downloaded the 64-bit driver source myself from the broadcom site here .(version 5.100.82.38 direct link to package). Then compiled using make, and manually installed the driver by replacing wl.ko in /lib/modules/ and rebooting to no avail.


beadmaze:
I did try that, and it works in the original amd64 kernel, but not after I compile and install the driver for the 2.6.36-3.dmz.2-liquorix-amd64 kernel. It seems that either liquorix or my limited knowledge and experience is breaking things here.

Anymore ideas?
Should I post this on the liquorix forums?

When I install the latest crunchbang on my laptop (fresh install), run the cb-welcome script, update everything, and install liquorix, my wireless card breaks. My wireless card is the bcm4312 card with the built in bluetooth. It works fine up until i reboot into the liquorix image. Architecture is amd64.

Things I have tried:

  • ndiswrapper

  • firmware-b43-lpphy-installer package

  • broadcom-sta

  • compiling the latest broadcom driver from source, from the broadcom website, replacing the driver in /lib/modules/ then modprobe wl

  • crossing my fingers

  • ritual dances

I would greatly appreciate any insight into the issue I am experiencing, tips, links to places i can do more research, etc.
