Centos6.5 -- Broadcom BCM4313 -- having trouble connecting

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Dear All,

I'm having trouble on 2 laptops Lenovo B580 since upgrading to Centos6.5.
( Because it's a Lenovo I cannot switch the network card for a better 
supported network card. )

There on the latest kernel :

root@jac network-scripts]# uname -a
Linux jac.cawdekempen 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 13 
13:06:13 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


With the help of the Elrepo Broadcom page I got the driver and that part 
works fine.
The network card works :

# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x4727 (wl)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", 
ATTR{address}=="c0:14:3d:c1:f6:ef", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", 
NAME="eth1"

# uname -a
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr C0:14:3D:C1:F6:EF
           inet6 addr: fe80::c214:3dff:fec1:f6ef/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:651
           TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

           RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
           Interrupt:17





But I cannot connect to any wireless network with neither of the machines.

I click on the gnome-nm-applet and type in the password.

googling for "centos6 WPASupplicant.Interface" doesn't exist#012" I 
found this bug:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5834


could this be the same issue?

Greetings, J.
