BCM4312 on latest Porteus?
Posted: 24 Jan 2022, 17:05
I have Porteus 5 installed on Lenovo IdeaPad S10e, an old Netbook. Everything seems to work except WiFi. I’ve found dozens of discussions concerning the BCM4312 controller, but they all seem to reference modules that I don’t have, or are in other ways out of date.
Help? (Fortunately, the built-in 10/100 NIC (Broadcom NetLink BCM5906M) works fine.
