I just got an Acer Aspire One and threw Fedora 15 Alpha on it. This is a good thing as, according to linuxwireless.org/en/users/drivers/brcm80211 says that my wifi chip is in the 2.6.38 kernel. That page tells me to d/l some firmware files to a specific directory. I went there and those files are already there. But I don't have any wireless configured.
The system only sees em1 and lo if I do an iwconfig and em1 is the ethernet. lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4727] (rev 01) Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:0510]
so the system can see the hardware. Why is it not loading? Is there another step I'm missing?
Thanks!
Hi,
There is possibly an small problem - what relates to the kmod - akmod naming difference. I could help you, but tell me the results of 'ifconfig', 'rfkill' (you have install that, and need an list param), and 'lsmod', 'rpm -qa | grep wl' . Pack that into an txt, and send it over me. If I have right, then we have to report an dependency problem.
Thanks,
Zoltan
