Are there any Linux Drivers for Draft N interfaces? If yes, for what brands/models? The closest I got to a supported draft n device (BCM43xx, which is supposed to support draft N) in linux is this writeup at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Broadcom_(BCM4306)_WLAN_Installation_under_SUSE: openSUSE 10.2 Option 1 - Original Driver Procedure
2. Find the windows driver for your wireless chip. An example windows driver was titled bcmwl5.sys Also note if you can't find yours try doing a google search for wl_apsta.o (SUSE worked with both the orginal windows driver and the wl_apsta.o at the time of this WIKI post). Put the driver file on your desktop in SUSE. 3. Start the shell console (Kmenu >System > Terminal Program > Terminal) and login as root with the command: sux -and type in the root password Extract your firmware files from your wireless chip and store them in the firmware file by typing in the following. (Note: Swap out the name of your driver accordingly...in this example it is wl_apsta.o): bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware ~/Desktop/wl_apsta.o4. Another way to install the firmware is using the install script included in the bcm43xx-fwcutter package. You need to have a working internet connection for this as it is attempted to download wl_apsta.o, next the firmware is extracted and stored in /lib/firmware. install_bcm43xx_firmware5. Now that the firmware is ready for the driver to use, load the module by typing the following: modprobe bcm43xx6. Reboot and now you can configure your WLAN card through YAST > Network devices > Network card The best games are on Xbox 360. Click here for a special offer on an Xbox 360 Console. Get it now! |
