BCM4313 on -current
BCM4313 doesn't wok on 13.37 without installing Broadcom STA, but it used to work on -current since the change to the git version of the kernel firmware until a while back. I'd left my netbook collecting dust for a while and today I brought it up to date with -current and my wifi stopped working. ifconfig -a only shows eth0 and the loopback interface. Broadcom sta is not building on -current.
Is that something that is happening only to me or did anyone have a similar experience? |
Check this post. It will provide you with a patch to fix it.

You could also try brcmsmac from the 3.4 kernel, you'll need to enable it though before compiling the kernel.

Thanks for the link stormtracknole. The linked patch solved the problem for me.

thanks for the link too! still won't build though.
After applying patch I get - make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-3.2.13' scripts/Makefile.clean:17: /tmp/SBo/build-broadcom-sta/Makefile: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/tmp/SBo/build-broadcom-sta/Makefile'. Stop. make: *** [_clean_/tmp/SBo/build-broadcom-sta] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-3.2.13 missing header files?? missing dependancy?? I'm gonna slap myself I know it |
Script from slackbuild.org works on 13.37 64bit, but not for me on -current 64bit.
Make from within extracted tarball directory /hybrid-portsrc......, otherwise make couldn't find the makefile needed. Then insmod wl.ko!! |
