Idéia # 1
Eu começaria tentando obter os drivers mais recentes da Broadcom, que estão disponíveis aqui:
Idéia # 2
Talvez este post seja o seu problema? Intitulado: Broadcom Wireless não funciona no kernel do Fedora 20 3.15 . Ele detalha 2 bugs detalhados aqui:
Junto com um patch detalhado no rastreador de bugs do Gentoo:
$ curl https://513156.bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=378836 -o patch.txt
As outras etapas desta postagem do blog são as seguintes:
trechoI took a chance and applied this directly to the code in
/tmp/wifi
. The patch succeeded and the module compiled.$ sudo yum install patch $ cd /tmp/wifi && patch -p1 < patch.txt
Next I needed to copy the module to the default modules folder searched by
modprobe
.$ sudo mkdir /lib/modules/'uname -r'/extra/net/wireless $ sudo cp wl.ko /lib/modules/'uname -r'/extra/net/wireless $ sudo depmod -a
Next remove any other sofware and drivers that might conflict with this one. In my case this meant removing the Broadcom OpenFWWF package and removing and blacklisting the bcma kernel module.
$ sudo rmmod bcma $ sudo echo "blacklist bcma" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf $ sudo yum remove b43-openfwwf.noarch
To install the new module using
modprobe
$ sudo modprobe wl
To load the module on boot I simply ran
$ sudo echo modprobe wl >> /etc/rc.local
Finally use NetworkManager to configure the new device.Oh and thanks to my ex-colleague Steve for the laptop ;-)
