Re: Porteus Nemesis v3.3 BUG REPORTS
I am not at home right now so I can't check what is included. Please use pacman/pacaur to get: broadcom-wl from the arch repos. Then issue:
rmmod b43
rmmod ssb
modprobe wl
depmod -a
I think this is an AUR package so you may need to use pacaur.
rmmod b43

Re: Porteus Nemesis v3.3 BUG REPORTS
Glad you've figured the problem out. But the solution needs an adjustment. pacman/pacaur need a wi-fi connection which my 3.3 system doesn't have and they don't work on my 3.01 or 3.1 systems.brokenman wrote:Please use pacman/pacaur to get: broadcom-wl from the arch repos.
Is this what I need?

Once I download it what do I do?

EdP,
Do you have a wired connection with Nemesis?

Yes, download the package manually and install it with pacman using: pacman -U /path/to/broadcom-wl*

Re: Porteus Nemesis v3.3 BUG REPORTS
Ok, what drawer is the cable in. Unplug the router, take it down, plug the network cable in. Is there an RJ45 port on this netbook?roadie wrote:EdP,

Yup, found it. Ok, reboot to Nemesis.
And I'm online with 3.3.
Here we go:

Sorry, try again.

Ok, let's try the browser.
OMG Are you serious!!! Couldn't even figure out how to get here with it. Not sure 3.3 is ready for online browsing.
Actually I'm not sure what I need to download. The GIT Clone URL, the Package Base, the Upstream URL, the .tar.gz file, the Dependencies?brokenman wrote:Yes, download the package manually and install it with pacman
And 3.3 needs a modern browser. The Lynx thing is archaic.

Ed_P and brokenman
As brokenman may be asleep and I don't have wireless myself but just woke up let me review some things you two may have missed
From various posts above
AFAIK you can't have wired and wireless as same time. You can have the 2 wired to bridge etc

so the actual first thing we all need to know IMHO is get your true id for the broadcom device
as guest works for me ...if fails try as sudo before command
so lets start at the beginning shall we?
Ed that device number should be universal across distros so if you are reading this on some non-nemesis post the results using your nice browser please.
Leaping ahead its the last link and your ids that interest me.
You are likely to report
Ed and sorry for not remembering but can you provide exact name,make model (if applicable the revision number) of your laptop please?
Even better a link to your specs page might be useful

Re: Porteus Nemesis v3.3 BUG REPORTS
The b43 kernel module is blacklisted by default as per /etc/modprobe.d/* so perhaps try loading this module before anything else to see if it will run your broadcom device:
pacaur is to be run as guest. So ....
(as root): setup-pman
(as guest): pacaur -S broadcom-wl
(as root):
rmmod b43
rmmod ssb
modprobe wl
depmod -a
Code: Select all
modprobe b43
(as root): setup-pman
(as guest): pacaur -S broadcom-wl
(as root):
rmmod b43
rmmod ssb
modprobe wl
depmod -a

Re: Porteus Nemesis v3.3 BUG REPORTS
I understand that approach beny but most people when they encounter a problem look to the web for a solution. Me included. If a new user downloads this, trys it and has problems they are not going to know to use pacman or pacaur and they are not going to have a normal online way to find that out, so, they will move on to something else.beny wrote:Ed_p, setup-pman first, after the setup it created the xzm package,after this pman -S firefox or crome or opera or....

Re: Porteus Nemesis v3.3 BUG REPORTS
Did you check if your wifi works after loading b43? You didn't say anything.
Did you try setup-pman with an internet connection ... then run pacaur -S broadcom-wl as guest? The easiest way for you will be to download and build broadcom-wl using pacaur (as guest). It will download and build the driver, otherwise you need to manually download and manually build. If you have a connection to download manually then you have a connection to use pacaur.
Sorry, broadcom is really a pain for linux but if we can get it working I will know how to fix it for the final release.

use root powers to add it to

Re: Porteus Nemesis v3.3 BUG REPORTS
Please answer 'no' to this question. Also make sure you have the 05-devel.xzm module loaded as it will require git (and other things) in order to buld your kernel module.View broadcom-wl PKGBUILD? [Y/n] y
Can someone please build this package ad upload it for Ed_P?
pacaur -S broadcom-wl <--- as guest and with 05-devel activated. Once done you can create a module using: arc2xzm broadcom-wl
How do i become super user?
Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.

Ok, but in that it erred out does it matter?brokenman wrote:Please answer 'no' to this question.View broadcom-wl PKGBUILD? [Y/n] y
I'm running the ISO you created, If it has the devel module in it then I have it, if not I don't know where to find it with 3.3. I wasn't aware I needed to compile/build kernel modules.Also make sure you have the 05-devel.xzm module loaded as it will require git (and other things) in order to buld your kernel module.
Isn't that what aus9 posted and I ran his install steps for it posted above?Can someone please build this package ad upload it for Ed_P?
BTW On my Slackware Porteus systems which have wi-fi active I don't see a wlan0 connection in ifconfig, I see an eth1 that is RUNNING..

sorry its out of sequence
after you copy the wl.ko to that folder then as root do this
I don't have a broadcomdevice but lsmod | grep wl (shows a hit for that module is loaded)
