got my problem SOLVED by getting info from [Solved] No Wifi connection Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)

http://www.mediafire.com/file/qzttwzqza ... o.xzm/file worked great for me....

Sorry had solved, but after reboot, seems NO WiFI, but when I open terminal and command

su
toor
modprobe -r b43
modprobe b43

it worked again....
how to make it permanent?? pls let me know. ty

[donald]

could be that b43 is blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/

[babam]

Add cliexec=modprobe~b43 to the APPEND line in boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg

Code: Select all

APPEND changes=/porteus cliexec=modprobe~b43

[giftedsoul]

could be that b43 is blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/

yes, its blocked & its look like this


don't know what to do next..... pls eleborate.

Code: Select all

APPEND changes=/porteus cliexec=modprobe~b43

@giftedsoul
As root, open the files in a text editor and unblacklist b43 - Example:
# blacklist b43

...or for a test, make a [backup] copy of both files and delete the original ones > reboot..

[Ed_P]

Add cliexec=modprobe~b43 to the APPEND line in boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg

Code: Select all

APPEND changes=/porteus cliexec=modprobe~b43

Open your File Manager.
Move it to the /boot/syslinux/ folder.
Find the porteus.cfg file.
Right click on it and open it.
Scroll down to the line that displays: APPEND changes=/porteus
After the /porteus add a space then add: cliexec=modprobe~b43
Then close the edit window. When it asks if you want to save your changes click on the Yes option.
Close your File Manager.

Ok?
