With Fedora 10 and above, you should install wget and the b43-fwcutter tool (which will extract firmware from the Windows driver):
#Bcm43xx driver drivers
Note: the firmware from the binary drivers is copyrighted by Broadcom Corporation and cannot be redistributed. Post details for missing distributions at. You will need an alternate working internet connection (by Ethernet cable, for example) since the firmware cannot be included with the distro itself. This is accomplished different ways by different Linux distributions, so please read the section for yours for the best results.
#Bcm43xx driver driver
To get such firmware on your system, you must download the driver from a legal distribution point, extract it, and install it. This firmware is copyrighted by Broadcom and must be extracted from Broadcom's proprietary drivers. The Broadcom wireless chip needs proprietary software (called "firmware") that runs on the wireless chip itself to work properly.
Probably something we forgot to add here. (Does not protect against external BT dongles) Bluetooth coexistence protection, if the bluetooth card is physically connected to the wireless chip. Packet injection (with radiotap no FCS injection currently though hardware supports it - a radiotap flag is being discussed for this). In-Hardware MAC address filter (b43 only impossible on b43legacy hardware). In-Hardware traffic de/encryption (relieves your CPU). "Monitor while operating" and multiple monitor interfaces. IRC: server is, channel is #bcm-users (English please). Please note that we do not support wl or brcm80211 drivers. Often the PCI-ID equals the Chip ID, but that is not always the case and it is a constant source of confusion.įor a list of available devices, please see the device list. Note that the PCI-ID is not in direct correlation with the Chip ID. Find that phrase in the below table to determine support. Ignore everything, except the last part inside of the. The command will output a string similar to this example:Ġ001:01:01.0 Network controller : Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) To find out whether a PCI device is supported by the b43 or b43legacy drivers, issue this lspci command: G-PHY devices: not working with kernels 3.15 and 3.16-rc1 (a regression). A workaround for older kernel is to use PIO mode (b43.pio=1 module param). BCM4321: some cards do not work in DMA mode with kernel 3.1 and older. Using PIO (module param) can be used as workaround for 2.6.īCM4318 chipset: AP mode does not work because of packet loss in high transmission rates. LP-PHY devices: DMA errors on some machines with kernel 2.6. See Switching between drivers for howto on choosing driver. It is possible to use only one driver at a moment, they are conflicting each other. The b43/b43legacy driver is not meant to support such a device. See rndis_wlan for 14e4:4320 and brcmfmac for others. If you have a Broadcom USB device, it's most likely a FullMAC device. The b43/b43legacy drivers require proprietary firmware to be loaded onto the wireless chip before it can operate, see below. Other distributions not mentioned above.
