Mageia forum

hello again

i already installed mageia 4 on dell inspiron

but i have a problem with its wifi

harddrake already recognized the device

but drakexnet gave me this message

unable to find network interface for selected device ( using bcma driver )

so how can i solve this ..... please

Which media did you use to install Mageia, and which desktop environment are you using? Do you use net_applet or NetworkManager?
And at least provide the output of the following command:

Code: Select all: lspcidrake -v | grep -i -e net -e broad

i used

MAGEIA4-x64-DVD + NONEFREE

and i am using KDE and net_applet

Code: Select all: lspcidrake -v | grep -i -e net -e broad bcma : Broadcom Corporation|BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [NETWORK_OTHER] (vendor:14e4 device:4365 subv:1028 subd:0016) (rev: 01) r8169 : Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.|RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [NETWORK_ETHERNET] (vendor:10ec device:8136 subv:1028 subd:0502) (rev: 05) btusb : Broadcom Corp|BCM43142A0 (vendor:0a5c device:21d7)

According to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dri ... ed_devices your device is not supported by the free b43 driver, only by the proprietary wl driver. You probably need to blacklist b43, bcma and ssb and then install and load broadcom-wl driver. Also see http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dri ... en_drivers

thanks

now its working ..... by useing your steps

thanks again

Code: Select all: [root@localhost ice]# journalctl -ab | grep -iE "fw|firmware|iwl|wifi|wire|80211" Jul 31 17:35:34 localhost kernel: [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored Jul 31 17:35:34 localhost kernel: psmouse serio1: synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 7.5, id: 0x1e0b1, caps: 0xd00073/0x240000/0xa0400, board id: 1695, fw id: 739436 Jul 31 17:36:00 localhost kernel: IFWLOG: register target wireless-tools Jul 31 17:38:03 localhost drakconnect[2717]: No settings found for driver "bcma" in category "network::connection::wireless" wireless-tools Jul 31 17:55:50 localhost draknetcenter[3637]: No settings found for driver "bcma" in category "network::connection::wireless" wireless-tools Jul 31 17:55:53 localhost draknetcenter[3637]: No settings found for driver "bcma" in category "network::connection::wireless"

so how to make mageia find broadcam 43142 driver ?

how to blacklist b43, bcma and ssb and then install and load broadcom-wl driver.

That is only explained on the old website, see
http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/e ... en_drivers

As root, do the following:

Code: Select all: echo -e "blacklist b43\nblacklist bcma\nblacklist ssb\n" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mga.conf

Then reboot and try again.

thanks @doktor5000

but unfortunately couldn't solve 😭 😢

i did what you said it
and when i choose network configuration then wireless it give me only one option : use a windows driver (with ndiswapper)
i'm really so sorry

when i do

Code: Select all: modprobe wl

it give me that

Code: Select all: modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found.

It's contained in the package dkms-broadcom-wl or the binary version is contained in broadcom-wl-kernel-xx
and it should automatically get installed if you run harddrake via MCC: http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/harddrake2.html

Good day
Notebook lenovo v580c. I have the Wi-Fi adapter Broadcom BCM43142.
Mageia 2 defines it as a Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4365 (rev 01 )
dkms-broadcom-wl It is already installed , but wi fi does not work
Help set up wi fi. thank you.

Spoiler:

Mageia 2 is long EOL - please use a current Mageia release. And please do not hijack other people's thread, open a separate one for your issue.
