Broadcom drivers in latest 32 bit porteus release
Posted: 23 May 2017, 13:21
Hello,
I'm still having issues getting porteus to work properly with WiFi. I've had to revert to the 32 bit install to be compatible with another laptop I have. Using this install I now don't have any WiFi connectivity (though it can see the card and see the networks it just won't connect).. in the 64 bit install it worked but was very slow, and took ages to connect to a page (see other post)..
Do I need to update the broadcom drivers (presumably there are more recent ones than bundled with 3.1).. how would I do this? Or is there a way to troubleshoot my problem.. thanks..
The card is this:
root@porteus:/home/guest# lspci -nn -d 14e4:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
