Hi, My netbook Asus have this network Wireless controller:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) Subsystem: AzureWave Device 2107 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 3 Memory at f7d00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?> Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 00-00-d9-ff-ff-09-6c-71 Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
and not work out of the box or with rpmfusion's wl driver.
For now I have found this howto: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-282334.html
and with this procedure:
#!/bin/bash # # http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-282334.html
set -x dtmp=$(mktemp -d)
# wget -c http://jas.gemnetworks.com/debian/pool/main/w/wireless-bcm43142/wireless-bcm... rpm -q dpkg || yum install dpkg
dpkg-deb -x wireless-bcm43142-dkms_6.20.55.19-1_amd64.deb $dtmp
cd $dtmp/usr/src/wireless-bcm43142-6.20.55.19/
make API=WEXT
mkdir -p /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/wl rm -f /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/wl/wl.ko cp ./wl.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/wl/.
depmod -a
modprobe -r wl sleep 2 ip a
modprobe wl sleep 2 ip a
cd rm -rf $dtmp
the wl driver work fine.
My question is: There is an official Fedora driver (embedded, akmod or kmod) for this (bcp43142) wireless network card?
Thanks.
