Hi,
I'm testing a netbook using the F15 Beta Live image. That netbook has
a Broadcom BCM4313 wifi chipset, of which I can find several problem
reports and the same number of answers, with or without success reports.
The lspci -v output (I've zeroed the S/N in the output):
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
Subsystem: Device 1a3b:2047
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
Memory at fbffc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
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 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
Two questions:
- Can I get this chip working (as a test) using the Live USB-stick, so
that I can verify the correct working without actually installing
Fedora on the disk? (Wired Ethernet is working to retrieve external
stuff when needed.)
- Is this chipset expected to start working without any additional
tweaks during the F15 life cycle?
Thx,
