Hello friends. In this post I bring you a quick guide to solve the problems with this card. I got the information from this page, I have only summarized it a little and I share them because really this is the first that I find that seems to work with this type of cards.
The first thing we will do is find out what model we have so we will introduce the following code.
sudo /sbin/lspci -nnv | grep Wireless
What you will return to us will be something similar to this.
0d:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
What is marked in bold is your model.
With old chipsets like BCM430,BCM4306, BCM4309, BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4318, BCM4322, BCM4331, BCM43224 y BCM43225 We will only introduce the following commands (connected to the Internet via cable).
sudo zypper install b43-fwcutter
sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware
We reboot and ready.
Well, that with the old ones, now we go with the more modern chipsets. If you have any of these models it will work for you: BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4313, BCM4321, BCM4322, BCM43224, BCM43225, BCM43227 and BCM43228.
We will have to install the driver version according to our kernel Linux installed. If we have a core type desktop we will put the following code:
sudo zypper install broadcom-wl broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop
To know our core type Linux put the following code:
uname -sr
It will return a code similar to this:
Linux 3.7.10-1.1-desktop
After restarting, Wi-Fi should work.
I hope it has served. Luck.
I will keep it in mind, the truth is that OpenSuse did not give me any problems when installing it.
0.0 that strange to me has not given me opensuse problems when installing it on those motherboards ... will it be a matter of luck?
With the only wifi card that had problems was an rt61 and years ago, manyss. Then with newer versions there was no problem.
Because you all get «archlinux and kde» and not me: '(
Because you don't have the user agent configured .., look for the post that allowed you to configure that -.-, it has been said a thousand times xd
Yo I suggested months ago an option to prevent people from continuing to ask but you see ...
Manuel was going to answer you but not even with those… happening. Pandev92 thanks for answering.
Thanks for the post
I have my TP-Link wireless network card with Broadcom chipset in my Debian and zero problems.
[Damn Chromium from Ubuntu. You always make me look like I'm using Ubuntu for real].
Change the user agent and voila - - look for Chrome user agen Switcher!
Very good, in case one day I think of migrating to suse thanks and greetings from Kore Source!
Good post!
Cheers!
WORKS!!!
install openSuse 13.1 on a cpmpaq CQ40-320LA laptop which has broadcom BCM4312.
I followed the steps and perfect.
thank you very much.
Excellent. It worked perfect for me, I had 5 days trying to install this card in opensuse 13.2. Thank you.
