Broadcom 4312: It's working but I have some questions

http://forums.opensuse.org – 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 04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000c] Code: uname -a Linux maq3.site 2.6.34-12-default #1 SMP 20 (Distributions)

Stories similar to Broadcom 4312: It's working but I have some questions

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

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.

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.

Hello everybody ! first i'd like to thank you all for the great deal of time you spend on helping people like me while you don"t really have to help ;) and for contributing to this community of opensource software and operating systems :) Now let's get to my problem :D !

Hi All,

This is my first post here. I'm using Opensuse 11.2 (Gnome)and the inbuilt kernel is 2.6.31.xx. My laptop is having bcm4312 (14e4 : 4315 id)chipset for wireless.

Broadcom 4312 Driver? 3 years 25 weeks ago

Is there a compiled driver for 11.2 for the Broadcom 4312 802.11b/g for the Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini Card on the PCI Bus?

Hi,

I can't get WLAN up on my Dell Mini 10v (BCM 4312)/openSUSE 11.3/LXDE. And yes, I have thoroughly read iwfingers's 'Getting your Wireless to Work'.

After installing openSUSE 11.3 ifconfig can see eth0, l0 and wlan0. No WLAN running.

dsmesq|grep firmware prompts me to '/usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware"
