[SOLVED]Can not find the wireless device

[greenbell]

I've just installed Mageia 1 on my laptop, but I can not use wifi. The system can figure out that my device is BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller. But when I choose it to connect wifi, it says "can not find the network card of the device".
I have searched the internet and succeeded in installing the B43 drivers. But it still doesn't work.
Please help me~

I found the solution here: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=923
Just search and install "dkms-broadcom-wl" from the source.

I have the same chip in my Lenovo netbook, bashing my head against the same lamp post. [imagine dubigrasu's avatar here]

I saw this previously and I did as follows

Code: Select all

CODE: SELECT ALL
wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
tar xf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver
su
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta_mimo.o
modprobe b43

BUT IT STILL DOES NOT WORK!

Why is this marked as Solved if still not working?

I understand now, he/she replied later and I guess it's not working.
