 |
|
I've installed Gentoo onto my aging MBP (5,5). Everything works fine except bluetooth and wifi.
Wifi:
The card is a broadcom 4322 card and is just not found!
Here's the ifconfig -a
| Code: | $ ifconfig -a
bond0: flags=5122<BROADCAST,MASTER,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)

and lspci -nn (the line that matters)
| Code: | | 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) |
When I boot up with sabayon live, it finds the card and I can connect to internet!
sabayon ifconfig -a

and lspci -nn
| Code: | 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Apple Inc. AirPort Extreme
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: ssb |
I'm fairly familar with Linux, new to Gentoo, and I've not had this problem before!
I've installed (emerged) broadcon_sta
modprobe -r b43 & legacy
modprobe wl
with no effect
Grateful for help to get this up and running
Thank you

| i don't have gentoo on MBP, but i'm guessing you probably need to look at your kernel config and/or linux firmware. |

| james4java: that output says the Sabayon CD used the kernel module ssb. That driver is controlled by CONFIG_SSB. Have you also enabled that driver in your custom kernel? Is it loaded? What, if anything, was printed to dmesg when that driver initialized? If you are unsure, pastebin your kernel configuration and the output of dmesg. |
