Crazy!! BCM4312(XPS 1530) wireless still canNOT work... HELP ME!

Hi,

I got a new DELL XPS 1530. It shipped with a BCM4312 wireless card, but I cannot drive it.

its lspci result:

Quote:

0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)

my system is Debian testing AMD64(update everyday)
my kernel version is 2.6.26.2, compiled by myself

i DO apt-get install b43-fwcutter, and in /lib/fireware/ has b43 folder

when I load the module "b43", dmesg show:

Quote:

[ 3376.916695] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]

But when I run

Quote:

ifconfig wlan0 up

it show:

Quote:

wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

I donot know what am i wrong...HELP ME PLEASE!

Does iwconfig see the card? Are there any messages after the one you showed from dmesg that might be relevant?

When I used it on my Latitude D600, the way to get the driver to work was to edit a udev rule.

Thank you, now i use ndiswrapper to let wireless card work.
