Hi all,

I just installed liquorix 2.6.37-0.dmz.4-liquorix-amd64 kernel. It`s relatively good. But I have a problem with wireless card. Which is:

Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)

When I finished the installation, bcmwl-kernel-source did not want to reinstall.

And with liquorix 2.6.37-0.dmz.4-liquorix-amd64 kernel I have no wireless connection.

Can anyone help?

My distro is: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit

There is a message out to look in /var/log/jockey.log

You'll need to install the newer version of the Broadcom WL driver: www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

How you can do that seamlessly in Ubuntu is anyone's guess.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and had the same problem. I switched from the STA driver to the B43 driver and it is working again. You can use jockey to switch between the two drivers.

Worked! But B43 driver is too slow than wl...What did I do?

:: Code ::

sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf
echo "options b43 pio=1 qos=0" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf


and than

:: Code ::

sudo rmmod b43
sudo modprobe b43 pio=1 qos=0


After reboot I have a wireless with b43 driver whish is wlan0 interface.
wl is eth1 interface.

B43 works out of the box with the 14e4:4315 card in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with PIO mode on and QOS off

PIO mode is good for downloads and uploads and anything involving a browser, but is very slow when transferring files through any protocol besides HTTP/HTTPS/UDP-Torrent.
