## Broadcom bcm4312 wireless

Tue Oct 25, 2016 2:51 pm

Download these:
http://bues.ch/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-018.tar.bz2
http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/br ... 38.tar.bz2

Code:
  `tar -xjf b43-fwcutter-018.tar.bz2
  cd b43-fwcutter-018
  make
  su
  (password)
  make install`

Extract the second tarball.

Code:
  `tar xjf broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2
  su
  (password)
  b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-5.100.138/linux/wl_apsta.o`

If someone has had success doing it in jessie with packages from the repo, please tell us how you did it. In wheezy, there was a separate package for the lpphy interface, but that's supposed to be included in the regular b43 driver in jessie. Even with the broadcom-sta-dkms package, I couldn't get it to see the wireless interface.

I got the bcm 4313, and used the wl driver, which works. It seems to be compatible with 4312 too

i do recall that i once asked at the antix forum, and was informed about several options and their pro's and con's. But i don't remember more.
