[Solved] Finding and installing Broadcom 4312 firmware

[coreplayer2]

Have never been able to test this but I think this format works also

blacklist=bcm,ssb,b43

Hi coreplayer2
Yes, that format was added to keep the length of the boot options down.

I added them to extlinux, now eth1 is there which I guess signifies my wifi. Internet still does not work and I can not ping any websites. I can ping the network router and other computers on the local network.

Hi shadowrift
Is your  /etc/resolv.conf  file set up correctly? Have you checked the output of the  route  command?

[shadowrift]

aperently I needed to clear some .conf files, unplug my ethernet and restart the computer. When I had the ethernet cable plugged in I could not access my dd-wrt configuration screen because it said could not be access with wireless connection. I guess having both connections configured confused TC. All is well now thanks.

Shadowrift. Please confirm that installing the
wl-modules-3.0.21-tinycore extension and
blacklisting the kernel modules
resolved your connection issue?
(Besides disconnecting your Ethernet..)

Yes, one only needs to install
wl-modules-3.0.21-tinycore

and blacklist the modules in the boot programs .conf file with the format blacklist=module
example /mnt/sda1/tce/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

The wifi will not work if an ethernet has been plugged in during reboot.

Thanks,

  yes this will never work, which I think we mentioned earlier.

Glad you have the system working now. and I'll document the hardware and drivers used, thank

Output of lsusb and lspci -k might be more helpful for us  thanks   as attachments is fine

[shadowrift]
