I'm using CentOS 6.3 x86_64 on a hardware with a BCM43224 chip for wi-fi. I installed the b43-fwcutter
module and then run modprobe b43
, with no error messages. However, no new network interface showed up, and the return of iwconfig
is:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lspci -nn | grep 43224
returns:
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353] (rev 01)
and uname -a
:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 6 23:43:09 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Any ideas of how to make the wireless device work?
