Does Broadcom BCM1413 work on Porteus 5.0 XCFE

Post#1 by SanjayMaheswaran » 31 Jul 2021, 16:41

Hi, I installed Porteus on my HP Pavilion G6 Notebook PC but I was facing network issues. Even though by typing lspci -knn It shows up but I can't connect to the internet.

The output of lspci -knn

Code: Select all

01.00.0 Network Controller [0200] : Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wirele
ss Network Adapter [14e4 4727] (rev 01)
 	DeviceName: Broadcom 802.11n+BT combo module
 	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device
 	Kernel modules: bcma
I even tried to blacklist wl but no effect whatsoever.
Can any expert help here?

Well, I found the culprit, it was broadcom_b43.conf file or something which i needed to delete it and now it works like a charm. Thanks for advice. :)
