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?

Hi SanjayMaheswaran.
Look at this topic [Solved] 4.0 doesn't support wifi on netbook. 3.2.2 does.

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. :)
