Tried every way to install my broadcom wireless card and failed

Hello.. i asked this in the newbie section but didn't get any replies.. i really need help and i don't know where else to go.
i have an hp dv2500 laptop with a Broadcom wireless card.. here is the output of lspci | grep -i net
08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
at first, i tried getting it to work with the broadcom-wl driver from AUR as suggested by this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312
i followed all the steps.. however, i did get an error when i tried to exucute this line:
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko
and the error was:
error inserting 'wl.ko': -1 File exists ...
i continued despite this error and when i was done, i couldn't detect the card with iwconfig or wicd.. the modules named "wl" and "lib80211" are loaded but i still can't detect it..
i uninstalled, re-installed and i got the same behaviour..
so then i tried the BCM43xx driver as described here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wir … up#BCM43XX
i unpacked the firmware and restarted but i still couldn't detect it.. and i couldn't load the bcm43xx module because arch says was not found..
then i tried the driver after that "b43".. followed the steps on the wiki, restarted, and i still couldn't detect the card with iwconfig or wicd..
i have been trying to get this to work for 3 days now.. i appreciate your time and help in this issue..
thanks

thanks for the reply tomk..
so at least we limited the problem to using broadcom-wl..
here is dmesg after modprobe -r wl
Bluetooth: Generic Bluetooth USB driver ver 0.5

and after modprobe wl:

i'm not that good with gnu/linux, so i'm not sure if something is wrong from these messages... do they point to anything?

Installed a seirra wireless card and now restarting is taking forever

I just installed software for a Sierra Wireless USBConnect Lighting - restarting has taken more than 15 minutes. Any idea what could be happening and what to do about it?

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...
I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.
I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

How To Install mini-pci wireless card in 1955-S805 ?

I'm trying to install a new mini-pci wireless card in my Satellite 1955-S805. I was able to pry off the black shiny strip above the keyboard, and unscrew the two screws holding down the keyboard. But under the keyboard is a silver metal plate. There doesn't appear to be a way to get past that. Everything I've read seems to say that the mini-pci card goes under the keyboard.
Does anyone know how to install a mini-pci card in these 1955-S805 notebooks? Or does anyone have a tech manual on this model?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat
I am not sure but you have an US model. I have 1900-703 notebook. It is a European model and I had no problem to install mini-pci wireless card.
Your unit has also wireless keyboard. Am I right?
If you want to built in wireless card you must remove the keyboard from notebook using keyboard releases on the left and right side of your unit. After that you can see small cover on the place of keyboard and this cover is fixed with one screw. Under this small cover there is wireless card slot.

Windows 7 driver for GeForce 320m Graphic Card and Broadcom wireless card

I just got my 11" MacAir (2011)and installed Windows 7 on it using Parallel software. Everything works fine except for the driver for the Broadcom BCM 43xx1.0 airport wireless card and for the GeForce 320m graphic card. Windows 7 cannot find the drivers. I have tried everything to find a solution: Downloaded the drivers from the Broadcom and NVIDIA websites, used the drivers that came with bootcamp and made changes to the nvao.inf file for the graphic card problems but nothing works. Does anyone know a solution to these problems? Many thanks.

Hi,
since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be better to use their own Support resources.
However, Parallels does not use the native (real) hardware of your Mac but virtualizes certain hardware.
The video adapter is a "VGA and SVGA with VESA 3.0 compatible Video Adapter" and the WiFi is mapped to a "Ethernet Virtual network card compatible with RTL8029".
For these virtual devices Parallels brings all drivers with it and names them "Parallels Tools" which you have to install manually while in our Parallels Windows virtual machine.
Refer to the Parallels User Guide http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v6/docs/en/ParallelsDesktop_UsersGuide/

No network and Broadcom wireless card

I'm new to Solaris OS, and I installed Solaris 10 with no network since I'm using a broadcom wireless card. Before installing Solaris10 on this box I had Ubuntu running on it and was able to use the ndiswrapper for the broadcom card.
But... I'm a bit lost now since I installed solaris 10 with no network at all. So my question is, how do I create a new network and get my broadcom card installed?

Solaris is a great OS... welcome to the fold.
First, Broadcom is not a good choice for any alternative OS including Solaris but OpenSolaris does have drivers despite Broadcom's lack of cooperation with other operating systems. I do suggest staying away from this vendor because of their "closed" nature of driver support.
That being said, the HCL at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/ can help. As well as Linux and others. While vendors like Broadcom are closed, others are not.
My favorite has been Intel 82557, 82558, 82559-controllers, I bought a bunch of them dirt cheap years back knowing they were supported with Linux, BSD and Solaris. They work well in pairs too, use then for firewalls.
The best thing we can do is only buy hardware that works with all OSes.

New driver for Broadcom wireless cards

Finally there's a driver for Broadcom wireless cards, including 4328 which only worked using ndiswrapper.
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
There are discussions about it on the Ubuntu forums
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914697
on the Debian forums
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? … 294ad5d3e9
and on the Gentoo wiki

Actually, this driver already has a Wiki page, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312. The new information is that it doesn't just work with bcm4312 cards, but all modern 43xx cards. See the forum links in the previous message.
The driver is already available in AUR,

Wireless card suddenly fails to be detected on dv1000 laptop

Hi there,
My HP dv1000 worked fine with some Atheros wireless card. This morning the operating system( winxp ) suddenly can't detect it. I googled around but there seems to be nothing really helpful to this problem. Did anybody ever come thru this before?
Thanks.

atheros? you so crazy. anyways for people with this same problem reading this, I just fixed it and ill go into more detail how so you can do it and not go crazy.
The DV1000 uses the intel pro wireless card. When you reinstall windows, all the other drivers are fairly easy to install but the wireless card wont even show up in the hardware profiles and the wireless button wont even light up until you...
Install the "intel chipset installation utility" drivers from the hp site. it's under the subcategory "operating system - enhancements and QFE's
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=228&product=435618#N3612
THEN install the "intel proset for intel prowireless drivers" found in the same hp page under "software solutions". Dont confuse this with the wireless drivers themselves, this one says PROSET the other one doesn't and the other one is in the other category for "driver - network". Install the proset.
THEN go to the "driver network" subcategory and download the very first one, intel prowireless drivers and install it.
Realize that itll install, flash up a black DOS screen and dissappear. its supposed to that doesnt mean its broke hah. RESTART and you should be golden, make sure you push the wirless button if its ot already on.
If this doesnt work, then either you didnt follow my steps with attention to detail, or you have to install the broadcom driver last instead of the intel prowireless.
I just did this after a year of windows being reinstalled and the wireless not working. This. Works. Forget all the other threads that dont go into enough detail.

A few reasons I can think of, but instead of shooting in the dark, lets check with experts who can look at your account.

[SOLVED] Broadcom wireless card behaving very strangely

My wireless card has become unusable in an obscure fashion after a reboot. It may have been due to the recent kernel update, but I rebooted once after that update and the card was fine, so I'm not sure. Wireless was working without a hitch for months before this.
I have a Macbook Pro 9,1 with a Broadcom BCM4331 wireless card. I use the b43 firmware.
The firmware is being loaded on boot, but that vague "link is not ready" error appears every time the system attempts to load the firmware:

When I try to use netctl to connect to my home network, I get the same error:

If I scan for networks using iw dev wlp3s0 scan, I get no output. Here's the debug output from that if it means anything to anyone—from the docs on netlink I read it doesn't seem to show anything unusual:

If I try to use wpa-supplicant, it will say "Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant" as if it had properly made a connection, but it hasn't. Running iw dev wlp3s0 link will show that the card isn't connected to anything, and of course the internet still doesn't work.
I know it's not a hardware problem because the wireless works fine in Mac OS.
What gives? Is there a way I can investigate this further? It seems like a driver and/or kernel issue but I'm not really sure how to nail that down with confidence. I couldn't find any reports in the kernel bug tracker about this or anything, so maybe it's just me and I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks!

Yay, that worked!
I guess I really should've tried that initially, huh? Since the wiki said not to use it unless you had an unsupported wireless card, I figured I shouldn't (b43 officially supports mine). Still, considering that it's easy to install/uninstall drivers, my caution was obviously unwarranted.
Thanks for your help!

I have managed to install arch yay - wireless card install?

Hey everyone
I have a netgear PCMCIA MA521 wireless card, in ubuntu it just installed itself and start to work, how can i set up archlinux to work with it??
I am very new to archlinux so please be gentle lol

This is the problem i have searched for how to unzip a zip file in arch linux but nothing useful is coming up
anyway - its not IT its computer science - id get shot by my tutors if i said anythin to do with them being IT
Gaunt
[EDIT] I give up - i dont think arch linux is for me at the moment - i dont know enough to set it up and get it running the way i want soon enough so ignore this thread

Broadcom wireless chipset and no more ndiswrapper

Hi everybody,
After some problems I could made my wireless card work by using ndiswrapper (cf post 117105 )
But recently ndiswrapper was removed from the repositories... I don't want to reopen this subject, enough have been told on it. However it seems that my card should be supported by the b43legacy driver but it doesn't work. I could install the ndiswrapper from AUR but i would prefer to use the kernel module.
So here is the problem I have with b43legacy. I can see the different wireless networks but when connected it fails on authentication.
Dmesg shows

I tried to extract the firmware manually, using b43-fwcutter, and to use the one in AUR but always got the same results.
I didn't try yet without protection (now I am trying with WEP and WPA) because other people are using the network now and even if it is work without protection it will not be an acceptable solution.
Can someone help me on this?
Thanks

Didn't find the solution so installed the ndiswrapper from AUR. Too bad as my card is said to be supported...

Problems with Broadcom wireless card after Kernel Upgrade

After upgrading to version 2.6.39 of the linux kernel, I am having trouble with my Broadcom BCM4312 wireless card. The broadcom-wl driver no longer seems to work, even after reinstalling it from the AUR. The b43 driver seems to be able to connect to unencrypted networks, but can no longer connect to my family's WPA Personal encrypted router. Is anybody else having a similar problem?

As I understand it my laptop has been fine and it uses broadcom-wl, and I just re-yaourt it each time my kernel version changes using a cable in my router. But I believe there is something called dkms and a version of the driver for it, which (I haven't read fully into it) is something like a separate tree, which can (from what little I've read) eliminate this need to recompile every time, however I literally read this 5 minutes ago, from the AUR page for broadcom-wl and a quick google so I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to it than that.
