Post#1 by black007 » 06 Jul 2012, 09:58

Wicd in Porteus v1.1 can detect and connect to wireless networks but Networkmanager in Porteus v1.2 can't detect wireless connections ... I guess broadcom wireless drivers are not supported in the new version ... plz help

broadcom-sta is included by default but it may not support older chipsets.
please refer to this HOWTO:

for troubleshooting broadcom problems.

let us know if that helped or you have stuck somewhere. in case of troubles please run 'lspci > /mnt/sdXy/porteus-lspci.txt' and 'cp /var/log/messages >/mnt/sdXY'
then upload these files to pastebin.com and link here.

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
