[CentOS] Broadcom wireless card: installation script for Linux-STA driver
Hi, I just installed CentOS 6.6 on my HP Pavilion DM1 laptop. The wireless card is only poorly supported in the default setup, so I decided to write an installation script for the Linux-STA driver, which works perfectly. https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/blob/master/6.x/broadcom-sta/broadcom-sta.sh Grab the files: # git clone https://github.com/kikinovak/centos Run the script: # cd centos/6.x/broadcom-sta # broadcom-sta.sh Reboot and you're ready to go.

Did you try the drivers provided by elrepo? http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod On December 14, 2014 5:32:34 AM EST, Niki Kovacs i...@microlinux.fr wrote: Hi, I just installed CentOS 6.6 on my HP Pavilion DM1 laptop.

Its true that CentOS can't package it for distribution, however, the elrepo package probably works fine, and you can subscribe to the elrepo repository and get software updates. It also attempts to make sure your wifi will continue working after you reboot into a new kernel. -- Jonathan Billings billi...@negate.org ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yes. However once built, because it is a kABI-tracking kmod package, there is no need to build it again for each kernel update.
