 |
|
Me again, other steroetypical problem:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 01) as lspci calls it, is not even found by ifconfig...
I followed the wiki-article by installing bcm43xx-fwcutter and enabled the kernel b43-support. And what now? The tutorial ends here and ifconfig doesn't find the card, so of course iwconfig doesn't find it either...
Is anybody out there able to help me? 
Greetings, Brunsbarth

Please post your dmesg after rebooting with the b43 driver enabled so we can see if there aren't any errors in driver initialization.

Thanks for the reply, here the dmesg output after reboot (I just removed a few blocks of code, that are huge and have nothing to do with the problem):

Well, I figured out, that I had Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211) loaded as a module and not compiled into the kernel...
The thing that changed in the dmesg log is
| Code: | b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found

Any ideas?
