Check out this sticky on Broadcom wireless: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ux-4175434970/
It might help. |

Hi frankbell,
I tried out the solution given by you but it doesn't helped me. Also the article doesn't describe the configuration for CentOS.
Regards,
Yogesh

I can't speak to CentOS, as I have no first-hand knowledge of CentOS and Broadcom. This article might help, though: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom |

Hi frankbell,
I tried the link you have provided and unfortunately I got the lot of errors while compiling the module and I was not able to resolved it. It gave some strange error which are very new to me.

I wish I could help more, but I have run out of ideas, since I don't have CentOS on a machine with Broadcom wireles and am not in a position to set one up.
Perhaps you can edit your first post's title (you can do that by selecting the individual post and clicking the "Go Advanced" at the button of the window) to include "CentOS" in it. That might attract someone who knows more about CentOS than I do.
