Hello everyone, I would like to ask you a guide to correctly install the driver broadcom-sta on my laptop aspire 5745-G.
Good day and sorry, I definitely posted in the wrong section but still experimental. ;-) Hello and good day. :D

Could we see the pci-id of the wireless device?
Code: [Select]
lspci -nn | grep -i broad will show it to you.

you should not need to use sta-driver for this.
Code: [Select]
apt-get install firmware-brcm80211
Code: [Select]
modprobe -r brcmsmac ; modprobe brcmsmac
Should work after that.
