hi list,
bought my self a hp mini-netbook, included windoze7 and a very strong
accu, 10 hours of life.
What's 'accu'?
Steef means 'battery'
i put sid on an usb-stick, included fluxbox and wicd(-curses).
wifi = (lspci) brcm4313. (type 5.60.350.6)
Can you paste the whole line from lspci?
'lspci | grep 4313' should do (without the quotes)
loaded/installed the according the debian broadcom- (broadcom 43xx
wireless drivers) -wiki convenient driver_firmware. the driver should
be included in the sid_kernel, so i understood. however: this
wifi_driver does not work.
See below link.
my questions: what did i do wrong if anything (1) ?
My question, what *did* you do? Can you be a little more specific
about the
process you did follow?
and
broadcom assued a so-called xxx-STA driver (by google) somebody with
some experience with this brcm4313 driver for linux (tar.gz) does
this one work for my mini_netbook (2) ?
Link?
if i find a working driver i can get rid of w7.
http://wiki.debian.org/wl is what I used on my HP laptop. I've
actually had Debian 6 (Squeeze) installed on there for several months
now and I *JUST* got wireless working
within the last few days, it was based on the above link that I got it
working, it's
fairly straight-forward and your 4313 is listed (mine is a 4312).
One thing I do recommend, if you have a physical wifi switch, to
toggle it after the new wl driver is loaded, that was the trick that
got it working for me, once I did, it
turned blue and I immediately connected to my Router
thank you all in this answer on hugo's email
....well 'klompen' i had on my feet immediately after WWII. proud to inform
you i am wearing shoes by now allthough still they feel somewhat uncomfortable..
lspci gave:
broadcom corporation bcm4313 802.11b/g/n && (rev 01)
i installed the brcm80211 firmware; the driver is in the kernel, zo told me
modprobe.
i installed wireless-tools, wicd && like i did many times before on another,
much older, laptop.
no reaction: no wireless connection, sp told me wicd-curses.
i guess i gonna try it again with the broadcom-STA driver as another kind soul
suggested, unless one of you (thanks hugo) has a better idea.
cheers,
steef
