My Linux Mint 11 can't find the WLAN ..
Hi im new, i'm a complete noob, i have had linux for about 3 hours now.
Everything installed just fine, but i have no WIFI. So, i have googled the internet so hard. But no luck :( My problem is. I installed Linux Mint 11 on my Dell Inspiron 8600 No wifi I tried to follow this guide (after endless searching) http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/..._and_b43legacy I then found out my card. By typing this in terminal lspci -vvnn | frep 14e4 Code:
Network Controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03) good, i continoue to the next step i type this in terminal sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter Code:
setting up firmware-b43legacy-installer (4.178.10.4-5) |
Hello,
With that chipset, you need to use the correct firmware with the applicable revision and version, otherwise you will run into problems. Have a look here - http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx#b43-b43legacy-squeeze That should get you on the right track. Remember, you have revision 3; The b43legacy drivers are not for your device. Also, b43-fwcutter doesn't contain the firmware anymore, so make sure you read that page really good. Cheers, Josh |
Thank you so much! It appears to be working now :)
