http://forums.opensuse.org – Hey all, after finally installing 11.3, I found that my wireless NIC had stopped working. I've spent about 4 hours trying various online tutorials to get the card working, but I'm still right where I was when I began. The card as reported by lspci: Code: linux-lcag:~ # lspci -vnn | grep Broadcom 08:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) The b43 driver works up to a point. With the b43 driver, I can scan for a network and attempt to connect, however it will never maintain the connection. I have run install_ (Distributions)

Hi, I'm new to Opensuse, I just installed 11.3, no serious problems so far.

I see a lot of people with problems to make work their Broadcom 4312 wireless. These are the steps I took to solve it. Please remember I'm a total rookie on Opensuse, so there is probably a better way.

First, this is my setup:

Code: /sbin/lspci -nnk

i have installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Lenovo G550 laptop. It has a Broadcom 4312 wireless lan adapter which is not working.

How do I fix it. How can I see what drivers are being used.

Hello, sorry to dredge up the past, i know this is an old problem but i cant find an answer younger than 2005.

Running:- /sbin/lspci -vnn | grep 14e4

I get:- 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)

i've seen a workaround for centos:- yum install b43-fwcutter b43-openfwwf mkdir ~/b43-driver; cd ~/b43-driver wget http://down

I have a HP MINI 210-1010NR and just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I can't get my wireless to work.I have checked through multiple Q&A's throughout this FAQ and tried them all.
