[SOLVED] Need BCM4312 wifi during installation

To install my system, I need to connect to the internet via wifi. My system has a a Broadcom BSM4312 802.11 a/b/g (rev 01) inbuilt wi-fi card.
So, going through the guide brings me to this step:
iwconfig
Which lists the interfaces eth0 and lo. eth0 being my wired ethernet adapter. The same command on my installed Ubuntu system lists eth0 (wired), eth1 (wireless) and lo. So it's just not there while installing.
Further research in the wiki brings me to this page: [wiki]Broadcom_BCM4312[/wiki].
There's a PKGBUILD in AUR. Or, you can download the driver from here, where you will also find a README file.
Which is somewhat problematic, as I have no wifi to install/download this while installing. How do I solve this problem?

@wonder
Worked fine!
a) sudo pacman -S git
b) created a new folder
mkdir wifi
cd wifi
git clone http://git.bu3sch.de/git/b43-tools.git
cd b43-tools/fwcutter
make
cd ..
export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/br … .4.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux
sudo ../../fwcutter/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o
c) reboot
Then... the Wireless indicator turned on that means it was enabled.
Considering I was using ArchBang 2 RC2 that already comes with Wicd, I only clicked over the applet that opened a window with my wireless SSID and a rectangle to put my WPA key.
That's it! Another and easy way to have my bcm4312 working out of the box.
Thanks for showing me a new way.

Basically, im pretty sure i need to install some firmware and or drivers.. i just dont know what. I want the wireless to connect at startup.
Bluetooth:
Basically the only way i can get it to work at the moment is to do
# /etc/rc.d/dbus start
# /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
# blueman-applet
the dbus is now starting at startup even, but bluetooth isnt..
# DAEMONS
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
# - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
# - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus network netfs bluetooth crond)
Im not sure if the bluetooth daemon is correct either?
External Hard Drive doesnt apper in my file manager:
External drive shows up in nautilus and thunar, but permission to transfer files is denied... why? I did:
#cd /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d
#gedit 55-myconf.pkla

[SOLVED] error with mkinitcpio during installation

Hi there
I am looking to install Arch after I broke a previous installation
I put this basic set of commands after reading the Installation Guide and I run it from in the live /root.
#!/bin/bash
loadkeys uk
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda7
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda8
mkswap -f /dev/sda6
mkdir /mnt/root
mkdir /mnt/home
mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/root
mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/home
pacstrap /mnt/root base base-devel
genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/root/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime
nano /etc/locale.conf
locale-gen
mkinitcpio -p linux
passwd root
If I run this script, there's some kind of problem with mkinitcpio and /boot is empty. It worked a month or so ago - maybe it's content in the new .iso? A misplaced /mnt or /mnt/root?
Any ideas? I've never failed to install distro properly and am a bit confused!
Thanks in advance
EDIT
I changed the script to this
loadkeys uk
cfdisk
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda7
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda8
mkswap -f /dev/sda6
mkdir /mnt/root
mkdir /mnt/home
mkdir /mnt/storage
mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/root
mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/home
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/storage
pacstrap /mnt/root base base-devel
genfstab -p /mnt/root >> /mnt/root/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt/root
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime
nano /etc/locale.conf
locale-gen
mkinitcpio -p linux
passwd root
exit
will see if that helps

Great, thanks for your help, much appreciated.
I do indeed have a functional system (basic of course) but what concerns me is that I get a not found error after mkinitcpio - the system boots so the kernel and initrd must be there...still that error message worries me a bit.
About that error, you need to post it, if you want help!
Edit: If you are running those commands in a file, make it look like this:
loadkeys uk
cfdisk
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda7
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda8
mkswap -f /dev/sda6
mkdir /mnt/root
mkdir /mnt/root/home
mkdir /mnt/root/storage
mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/root
mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/root/home
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/root/storage
pacstrap /mnt/root base base-devel
genfstab -U -p /mnt/root > /mnt/root/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash -c "ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime"
arch-chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash -c "nano /etc/locale.conf"
arch-chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash -c "locale-gen"
arch-chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash -c "mkinitcpio -p linux"
arch-chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash -c "passwd root"
The lines with "arch-chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash -c" are needed to run those inside the chroot environment, or else they will run in your live system, instead of making changes to your created system.

I had the same error this morning and I found the same solutions on forums about to use pacman-key --init and another instructions. I'll try later your solution. Hope it works

Do I need to provide the physcial hostname to iAS during installation or can I just that installed name into the /etc/hosts file?

Hi,
Pls confirm if you are using Windows 2000 Pro, in this O/S the
hostname is the name of the computer itself. Check the
MyComputer->Properties->Network Identification->Properties, the name you
find under the computer name will be automatically taken while
installation, if it doesn't then there is some error. However the
C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts doesn't matter much while installing
iAS 6.0 SP1 or above. Hope this helps

Raj

Fatal error during installation - Error 1603 ONLY on XP

My Dears,
while installing any CS3 or CS4 Adobe product for my friend, at ~90% of installation error comes up:
"Adobe Photoshop CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation."
I am struggling to solve it for 3 days now, and of corse I have seen and tryied all things proposed in posts like this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/373577 , but still nothing helps me.
Thats list of all things that I have tryied to do:
- CleanUp fix
- Uninstalling all Adobe before fix
- Turning Internet off fix
- Turning anti-vir things off fix
- Registery fix
- Starting from CLEAN new system fix
- Changing language from US to International fix
Still nothing. Probably thats the point of problem:
Current Situation:
Got ACER ASPIRE x3200 desktop width Windows Vista (preinstalled), did clean installation of Windows XP and dumped Vista
There is no official drivers for XP, but got cracked chipset driver and official nVidia 8200 driver for XP from Internet
Got all Service Packs
100% legal
If nothing is working, maybe thats becaouse of my PC?! Installed it on my laptop with Vista 32b - WORKS (it means that installation CD is not corruptet or something). But then I have tryied to install it on another laptop with XP PRO - fail as with my PC. It seems that Windows XP Pro is not good for CS3 or CS4, BUT it did months before in my old unbranded PC.
Help! I really want to install that stuff.
Best Regards,
Westmidlander

I was only speaking very generally... This is all common sense...
Adobe and other software makers are moving on from XP in their development. Thus XP becomes more and more troublesome to use as the likelihood of problems increases.
In the case of installation, a lot of very specific things are required of an installer so that it can work on Windows 7. The User Account Control (UAC) system and other security measures such as file permissions have to be completely and properly satisfied to install software on the newer systems. Indeed, the application itself even has to work differently to be compliant - reference the recent 12.0.2 issues with loading scanner drivers for example, or the fact that Photoshop needs to put some things under C:\Users\... now that always used to be put under C:\Program Files\Adobe\...
It's not hard to imagine that Adobe isn't testing software as thoroughly on XP as they once did either. Perhaps they missed one of the quirks of XP in pursuit of getting it to install properly on Windows 7.
You're putting a new cutting edge software application on an operating system designed nearly 10 years ago (an epoch in high tech). That you don't see even more problems is a testament to Adobe's committment to support XP.

In 2008 I bought an HP Pavilion Elite with Vista with a HP OfficeJet 5610 All-In-One connected through USB. About a year ago I upgraded to Windows 7 and print and scan worked OK. Last week I received an e-mail from HP for HP Print and Scan Doctor (ver 4.3) and installed it. I have had a problem trying to install the software updates that it said that I need. I have uninstall and reinstalled many times.
The HP Print and Scan Doctor said that the printing works but the scanner part fails at Registery, HP Scan Flow Manager, and Front Panel Test.
Any help would be appreacited.

[SOLVED] broadcom-wl works during install, but not after.

I have this macbook air which I'm beating into submission, and it has a broadcom wifi chip. I followed the instructions here for the installation and it worked perfectly. After booting into my newly installed system I do the same, but when I do 'modprobe wl' it fails with:
# modprobe --verbose wl
insmod /lib/modules/3.14.5-1-ARCH/extramodules/wl.ko.gz
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Invalid argument
I checked with 'lsmod' and none of the blacklisted modules are loaded. I have no idea how to proceed but it should work since it worked during installation. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: As user Namarrgon on irc pointed out, I needed to rebuild the broadcom-wl package. The reason it worked in the live usb and not in the installed system is probably because the installed system had a later kernel than the one on the live usb.

At least for rt2870sta, it's a retarded bug in Linux that was introduced in 2.6.31 and is still not fixed. It works in the live environment because it has an older kernel.
Kernel 2.6.31 module conflicts
The 2.6.31 kernel caused the rt2870 driver to conflict with other wireless modules. The fix in this thread says that you need to blacklist the rt2800usb rt2x00usb and rt2x00lib modules by modifying the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf
MODULES=( ... !rt2800usb !rt2x00usb !rt2x00lib ... )

You can upgrade your AppWorld from using your BlackBerry browser to go to www.blackberry.com/appworld
After you upgrade, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

Message 'computer unable to connect to printer' appears during installation of laserjet p1102w.

During installation of wireless software for Laserjet P1102W on computer with XP Professional (pk2), the message ' printer was able to connect to wireless network. However, this computer is unable to connect to the printer.' I verified the computer and printer both connected to same named network with same WEP , open, key, etc. credentials. I have a linksys connected to the computer and cable modem. When I connect using the USB connect wire to the computer directly, I can print. Both software, wired and wireless, were loaded. My HP Inkjet printer is wired to the linksys and works for multiple wireless network computers. Do I need to have a different printer? I thought i could still have a truly wireless printer!?! I am a novice at this. Thanks for any assistance you can give.

I called HP support. The tech was very knowledgeable and helpful. The HP Smart Install program (in printer and on CD) that came in the box was an old version. I needed to reset the printer back to factory default and download the new firmware from HP.com internet site.
The older software had an incorrect router address (network). You can see the router (IP) address when you do the Self Test (holding down the 'on' button) under network Information. The IPv4 address should be the same as your router. Now my printer and computer are looking at the same network.
Works great! Love this LaserJet. Faster than my last HP LaserJet 4L.

Im trying to configure my printer 'Canon PIXMA MX3170' - however, I get Error during installation

Im trying to configure my printer 'Canon PIXMA MX3170' -
I followed the following steps mentioned on some site:
"Follow below steps to setup Canon MG3100 printer to wifi using WPS function (by a button push on the wireless router/access point)
Press and hold maintenance button on printer. (button with screw driver and cutting pair symbol)
Now the LED should flash as '_'
Press and hold 'Fit to Page" button, now LED should flash as single dash moving vertically.
Once the LED flash is confirmed, press and hold WPS button on router/access point for about five seconds.
Printer should stop the flashing and LED should be back to normal displaying '1'.
This completes the setup and you are ready to use your printer wireless ".
However,
1.LED on my printer flashes 1-2-3-E instead of a steady 1.
2. Error message during installation : "An error occurred while communicating with the printer"
3. Im using a netgear router - and I don't know what is an access point and how to configure it for the printer.
4. I think I pressed the right button - (WPS button) - button with symbol having a tower emitting waves.
My installation as a result - failed. Need your help.
Thanks,
Aditya
