I have a Broadcom wlan 4312 [14e4:4315] in my laptop.
After the latest kernel update to kernel-3.2.1-13 I decided to install
the necessary firmware heeding the following dmesg output:
[ 82.515047] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode15.fw" not found
[ 82.515054] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode15.fw" not
found
[ 82.515060] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and
download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please
carefully read all instructions on this website.
The website suggests downloading broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2 if
using the b43 driver from the 3.2 kernel.
I did that but then this happens:
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta.o
Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by b43-fwcutter.
This file has an unknown MD5sum e1b05e268bcdbfef3560c28fc161f30
b43-fwcutter in Fed 16 is version 0.14 and indeed the FW15 file
supported by b43-fwcutter version 0.14 has a different md5sum.
The wireless.kernel.org site also advices using b43-fwcutter version
0.15 but this version does not seem to be available for fed 16.
Can this be the problem?
You want ito nstall kmod-wl and it will install all dependencies .
Then you want to go into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and enter
"blacklist b43-fwcutter" w/o quotes
Why would I do that?
I already have a driver "b43" from the new kernel-3.2 loaded and this
seems to be the advised driver, not the wl driver.
I am just missing the firmware!
