[Solved] help broadcom4359 wifi driver
Posted: 17 Sep 2021, 00:49
Hi there, having issues with WIFI and bluetooth driver
for my Dell Lattitude E6320
the manufacturer offers only .deb drivers
but they don't even work on ubuntu or debian
Running lspci | grep -Ei 'wifi|wireless|network'
outputs
lspci command not found
but
dmesg | grep 14e4
outputs
[0.095516] pci 0000:02:00.0: [14e4:4359] type 00 class 0x028000
which leads me to think I have a broadcom 4359 chipset
14e4:4359 --> is probably BCM43228
I tried downloading
broadcom-sta (6.30.223.271) from here https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1 ... adcom-sta/
I got a nice tar.tgz file I extracted and executed the doinst.sh as root but no output nor driver
then tried
https://slackware.pkgs.org/current/slac ... y.txz.html
it said succesfully installed still no wifi
at this point I'm running out of ideas
I have tried all the xzm files and wifi driver I could find posted in this forum but couldn' t make it work
I would appreciate any help or if there's any xzm or tgz that you guys could generously share I would be eternally grateful
