[rosa-devel] Broadcom-wl - testing is needed
Posted: 13 September 2013, 11:42
If you have a BroadCom Wi-Fi device, you can try and test an updated driver
Upstream update 6.30.223.141

Hi,
I have patched the proprietary driver for Broadcom WiFi adapters again,
this time - to fix crashes at boot
(http://bugs.rosalinux.ru/show_bug.cgi?id=2146).
It works fine on my laptop but additional testing is needed to make sure
the problem did go away.
If you have a laptop with Broadcom WiFi adapter and ROSA Desktop Fresh,
it would be great if you could test the updated driver there, check if
there are any problems with WiFi.
'lspci -vnn | grep BCM4' will tell if the system has the appropriate
controller. BCM4312 and higher are needed.
The updated package (dkms-broadcom-wl-5.100.82.112-13) is available in
my personal repo:
i586:

x86_64:

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Eugene
