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.
How do i become super user?

:Yahoo!: Glad you've figured the problem out. :Yahoo!: 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. :(

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*

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?
Yup, found it. Ok, reboot to Nemesis.

And I'm online with 3.3. :Yahoo!:

Here we go:

Code: Select all

guest ~ $ pacaur broadcom-wl
[sudo] password for guest: 
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for guest:               <<------------- It really was asking for the guest password.  :-/

root /home/guest # 
Yup.

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.
brokenman wrote:Yes, download the package manually and install it with pacman
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?

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

Code: Select all

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet (rev c1)
07:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

# kernel modules in use for wl
Kernel modules: bcma, wl
# kernel modules in use for eth0
Kernel modules: atl1c

# as root
rmmod b43
rmmod ssb
modprobe wl
depmod -a
AFAIK you can't have wired and wireless as same time. You can have the 2 wired to bridge etc

wiki
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use ... rted_chips
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use ... f_hardware

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

Code: Select all

lspci -vnn | grep Device 
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
14e4:4313
14e4:43aa
14e4:4727
Now I don't have that manufacturer but instead of the lspci command you could try this

Code: Select all

lspci -nn -d 14e4:
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

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:

Code: Select all

modprobe b43
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

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.

Yes, I screwed up the running of setup-pman but I think I would have gotten the same error as guest.

Which AUR link do I use to manually download the broadcom-wl module? I noted a couple of post up that there are several on that page.

Post#100 by brokenman » 02 Dec 2015, 10:05

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.

I have trouble with aur PKGBUILD so spat the dummy and downloaded the br kernel module source from

unpacked and made the kernel object

save it somewhere until you boot up with a changes= cheatcode
use root powers to add it to
/usr/lib/modules/4.3.0-porteus/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko

now as root
bring down your ethernet

Code: Select all

ifconfig  eth0 down
ifconfig (must show only your lo stuff)

rmmod b43
rmmod ssb
modprobe wl
depmod -a

ifconfig wlan0 up  (or) ifconfig  ...not sure as I don't have wireless
(should now show a wlan0 entry)
You still need to enter your router passphrase using NM applet

save it somewhere until you boot up with a changes= cheatcode
use root powers to add it to
/usr/lib/modules/4.3.0-porteus/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko

now as root
bring down your ethernet

Code: Select all

ifconfig  eth0 down
ifconfig (must show only your lo stuff)

rmmod b43
rmmod ssb
modprobe wl
depmod -a

ifconfig wlan0 up  (or) ifconfig  ...not sure as I don't have wireless
(should now show a wlan0 entry)
You still need to enter your router passphrase using NM applet
Tried this cable connected also.

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.

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?

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.

Isn't that what aus9 posted and I ran his install steps for it posted above?

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..

ed

sorry its out of sequence

after you copy the wl.ko to that folder then as root do this

Code: Select all

depmod -a
modprobe wl
I don't have a broadcomdevice but lsmod | grep wl (shows a hit for that module is loaded)
