Hi, I'm trying to get WLAN working on my HP625 laptop. I've checked several web pages but I'm lost.
I'm using a recent kernel (3.3-rc5+). I configured CONFIG_BRCMUTIL=m CONFIG_BRCMSMAC=m CONFIG_BRCMFMAC=m and I installed the coresponding firmware in /lib/firmware/brcm Now, lspci -k shows 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 145c Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge and even iwconfig shows wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on I have net.wlan0 symlinked to net.lo. Now, when I try /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start the screen gets blanked on a console as well as from an XTerm and the kernel crashes totally, i.e. the emergency reboot doesn't work either. And trying to do an strace with output to a file shows that even this output file doesn't exist (i.e. hasn't been closed) So, what can I try next? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.
