Hi,

Can you be more specific? Are looking for a Printer driver, a graphics card etc...?

Please provide at least the information what your actual problem is, and what you want to achieve.
And please keep that in mind for future threads.

i was just looking for wat propiterary drivers installed in my system n just looking for broadcom wireless properitary drivers installed in my system..

and also how to check whether all the drivers needed for my hardware are properly installed or not?

[doktor5000]

Well, you can take a look which kernel modules are currently in use, and as far as i know there's only one propr. driver for broadcom adapters: broadcom-wl
But there are also some free drivers which require proprietary firmware, also there's no generic tool to check if drivers are properly installed or not.

Again, what do you want to achieve exactly? Do you want to use a free driver for your broadcom adapter? If so, which is it?
Please show the output of

Code: Select all

lspcidrake -v | grep NET

So you are currently using the proprietary broadcom driver, if that's what you wanted to know.

For your other question, no i can't help you with that, and please don't cross-post between different threads ...
