Can't get my broadcom wifi configured.
Any idea what driver I should install for the BCM4360?
Thanks

That an r2 or 3?
Here:
If you're unable to copy'n paste, this'll pipe it to /root:
.. Where you CAN copy'n paste.
Here:
Code: Select all
lspci -nn | grep -i network

lspci -nn | grep -i network > /root/mycard.txt

for 14e4:43a0 you can try the proprietary wl drivers
they have to be compiled specifically for each kernel unfortunately...
instructions at:

i suggest you post a request here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 292#805292
for 666philb to put them in his tahrpup repository
cheers

p.s. I've uploaded pets to http://smokey01.com/peebee/broadcom/tahr-6.0.5/ - make sure you select the correct one for your kernel

Thanks to peebee for his broadcom_sta-6.30.223.271_k3.14.54_amd64-5.pet - working brilliantly for TP-Link Archer T6E AC1300 PCIe, on my DH67BL motherboard desktop, TahrPup64. Huge Cheers
EDITS: peebee was the compiler, I was right first time - with thanks to 666philb and marvothal for their contributions also, I see on related threads

Ok so I have the Broadcom driver peebee provided working swimmingly - I was a bit alarmed that the kernel (Linux 3.14.54 (x86-64) in TahrPup64) wasn't registering automatically on startup, even though the cards green LED was active. Well the proprietary issues of the Broadcom drivers is discussed elsewhere, and thankfully peebee's pet is the bomb for solving the problem.
My problem now is getting my wifi from the standard (and ad-hoc) mode of 2.4GHz bandwidth to the 5Ghz offered by the Broadcom4360 T6E.
So the obvious solution is "change the channel" to something like channel 60. I could probably do something like tempestuous outlines here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 336#159336. I'll give that a try. I guess I don't *have* to shift from ad-hoc to infrastructure mode - like the command - if only that I wasn't using WPA/WPA2 as I think iwconfig is not useable in that instance.
So does anyone know of a method I could use to flexibly shift between 2.4 to 5Gz automatically, assign channels appropriate for the available signal strength? Or, some approach within existing Frisbee/SNS/Network Manager dialogs that I might have missed? The commandline approach looks a little all-or-none, but if there were easy scripts to insert in wpa_supplicant or elsewhere to enable the improved functionality, please feel free to suggest a solution (dear reader).
UPDATE: Ok so the modem isn't mine though it was purchased recently as part of a Telstra Fixed Wireless package (slaps forehead). The modem is a TG797n v3, and thanks to the Whirlpool forum in Oz, has been restricted to 2.4GHz among other rapacious limitations (whacks forehead on desk). So, 5GHz channels *might* be recruited automagically if the bandwidth is actually provided... but I have no way of testing this equipment at present
