Hi all!

I've been tinkering with LFS on my Macbook Pro Retina and have managed to get it booted up. However, I'm having trouble getting my wifi card to work.

It's a Broadcom bcm4360. There are 2 flavors, evidently. Standard b43 drivers don't work on mine, so I have to use something called 'wl'.

On my Ubuntu installation, I did...

/apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source/

and then followed with..

/modprobe wl/
/
/
This worked great for Ubuntu.

Questions is; how do I replicate this process in LFS without a package manager like 'dpkg'

I'd suggest you go to http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php,
then download the proper driver. The README at the bottom of the page has good instructions. I guess you'll need to have your kernel source (compiled with your configuration) in a known location, like /usr/src.

I do not have a wireless card, so I cannot tell more...
