How to install brcm80211 slackware 14.0


hello, i want to ask, how to install brcm80211 in slackware,? I use wlan broadcom bcm4313 and wear wl wireless driver, and I want to use aircrack-ng but aircrack-ng do not support the wl driver.

this quote

"Some chips are covered by both the “b43” and “wl” driver. If you have such device, you have to make sure you blacklist the “wl” driver before you utilize b43, otherwise they will collide and your card will stop functioning altogether, let alone hope for injection. The “wl” driver does not support aircrack-ng."

Depends on which driver you want to install. I recommend using sbopkg to download and install the drivers you need.

For b43 you'll need b43 firmware and b43 fwcutter - both from slackbuilds (or sbokg).

You need to add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and then rebot:

blacklist wl


For the WL driver you'll need broadcom-sta from slackbuilds or via sbopkg and then add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and then reboot.

blacklist b43
blacklist ssb


I use broadcom-sta with the broadcom 4312.
