  Phil, Earl,
 
  Thanks for pointing me to elrepo : yes, the kmod-compat-wireless page
  lists brcmsmac.ko.
 
  If someone else find this mail while wanting to use its bcm4313
  adapter :
  rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-4.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
  download the firmware from 
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/
  tar xzf linux-firmware-*.tar.gz
  mv linux-firmware-*/brcm/ /lib/firmware/
  restorecon -rv /lib/firmware
  depmod -a : modprobe brcmsmac
  ... and it works.
 
 Philippe,
 
 Thank you for the note. The kmod-compat-wireless wiki page has been
 updated using your lines as an example for installation.

Oh. After re-reading my post, I found a couple of mistakes :
- the actual URL for the firmware is 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git;a=commit;h=e4379d14549cd9b29988cf3c5b74b29d2051dd09
- and the ; turned : in depmod -a ; modprobe brcmsmac 

Sorry for the inconvenience, and a lot of thanks for your job !

I noticed both :-)

The URL I chose pulls down the whole thing. I will make a change to
your corrected link.

Thanks again,

[CentOS] support for Broadcom BCM4313

2012-05-25 Thread Philippe Naudin
Hello,

The support for Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless is
native in the kernel since 2.6.37 (module brcm80211, renamed brcmsmac
since 2.6.39).

But is it backported to some kernel available for CentOS ?

Thanks,

Philippe,

You can try ELRepo, I believe that they have the drivers for boderdom, they
also have kernel 3.3.x, please read their note about using kernel 3.3.x. I
have tried it and I did not have any issues with it.

Check http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-compat-wireless to see if it supports 
your hardware with the standard kernel.
