[RESOLVED] BORK vs Broadcom 4401
This evening I installed BORK on an old HP laptop.
Everything went well, except for one point.
Ceni doesn't see my networkcard (the wired or wireless).
lspci told me this..
product:BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX
vendor: BroadcomCorporation
Google wasn't a great help too, it let me download a package but the was already in the lib/firmware
I tried AntiX 13.2 from a livecd and Ceni detect both cards (wired and wireless) So there must be a solution, but I'm stucked.

Re: [RESOLVED] BORK vs Broadcom 4401
Ahh yes, I have the same thing with my Acer with the BC NIC (only for the for the Eth0, oddly)
Might want to unblacklist them from here:
or put the modprobe in /etc/rc.local
Might want to unblacklist them from here:
Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf

Re: [RESOLVED] BORK vs Broadcom 4401
Me too :) - I just did a bit of side research, seems better to just let it load first off, rather than blacklist, then reload it.Theo wrote:That's how I solved it.. :) After that I took a beer (okay 2).wuxmedia wrote: or put the modprobe in /etc/rc.local
I haven't actually rebooted yet so not sure if that will work. :)

You can always run
sudo fw-detect
and it will show you what's missing :)
