linux-2.6.37-rc5 - brcm80211 staging driver - wlan0: no wireless extension
Hi, guys.
Here's the problem: I have a Broadcom BCM4313 wireless card (14e4:4727) which is supported by the FOSS brcm80211 driver. With my main kernel (2.6.36.2) I have compat-wireless-20101213 compiled in and working fine with the brcm80211 module driver, but when I try the native staging-driver brcm80211 from 2.6.37-rc5 my wireless card does not work, showing "wlan0: no wireless extensions" when I do a "iwconfig". The thing is: I have absolutely no idea how to walk this through, so I hope someone could lend me a hand on working this out. I have the output from "lshw -C network" from both 2.6.36.2 and 2.6.37-rc5, as below: Code:
# uname -r Code:
# uname -r System specs: Dell N5010 notebook, Intel Core i5-460M, 320GB hdd, Intel HD Graphics, BCM4313 (Dell 1501N Wireless) wireless card (with brcm80211 module-driver), RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (r8169 module-driver), OS: Slackware64-current, Multilib - last synced: 12-10-2010 |
Well, the problem is solved.
As I am a custom-kernel-builder (does such a thing exist? :)), I left the following option out Code:
