Re: Unable to get Broadcom 4311 working with SliTaz

[Jon Cargille <jon.cargille@xxxxxxxxx>]

BTW, I did try with that package, and the linux-wireless package, with no luck.

 

Note that I'm trying to do this from the downloaded LiveCD image, so I can't install a new kernel and reboot to that--or is there some way to do that that I don't know of?

 

I'm trying to get this running on a zero-HDD footprint machine...

 

Is there some other LiveCD image that I would be better off with?

 

Thanks much for any assistance,

 

Jon

Do you mean the package called "linux-2.6.30.6.tazpkg"?  If so, what is different in that linux pkg?  The version of SliTaz LiveCD that I'm using already says it is 2.6.30.6.

 

I did verify that ssb was not loaded.

 

Thanks!

Right, you need to either upgrade your computer again or use the linux
pkg from my directory. For broadcom-wl to work, ssb module should not
be loaded in memory. Make sure "ssb" is also not there in
LOAD_MODULES.
