Detecting wifi with broadcom

Post#1 by gab2023 » 01 Jan 2024, 21:27

I'm using the latest version of KDE and I'm not detecting wifi from network manager. This is what I have in my laptop:

BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n

Can anyone tell me how to get this working?

Hi gab2023,

1) Why do you post it in Tutorials section?

2) Look at this https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0 ... oadcom-sta
Copy to modules folder this module broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271_6.5.5_porteus-x86_64-1_SBo.xzm
Reboot Porteus and test your WiFi.
