Post by: messana on 2012/09/01, 11:07:08

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.

Thank you Devil I solved it.
ps. I prefer to use instead of kmanagment knemo. You probably do not know its features.
Hello thanks and good Sunday.
