broadcom-wl dkms not working

[zomzilla]

hi; i have installed the proprietary wl driver on my laptop, but for some reason the network manager is not discovering any networks.

normally the problem is getting the module to load in other distro's, yet here the module is loaded and the device is recognised as eth1 (correct)

is it possible that DKMS has not compiled it? can i force it to recompile to make sure?


thanks Zom

To check if the module is loaded

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep wl

To load the module manually and then check if it detected the hardware

Code: Select all
