Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm trying to get WLAN working on my HP625 laptop. |
4 |
I've checked several web pages but I'm lost. |
5 |
|
6 |
I'm using a recent kernel (3.3-rc5+). |
7 |
I configured CONFIG_BRCMUTIL=m CONFIG_BRCMSMAC=m CONFIG_BRCMFMAC=m and |
8 |
I installed the coresponding firmware in /lib/firmware/brcm |
9 |
|
10 |
Now, lspci -k shows |
11 |
06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n |
12 |
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) |
13 |
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 145c |
14 |
Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge |
15 |
|
16 |
|
17 |
and even |
18 |
|
19 |
iwconfig shows |
20 |
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any |
21 |
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm |
22 |
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off |
23 |
Encryption key:off |
24 |
Power Management:on |
25 |
|
26 |
|
27 |
I have net.wlan0 symlinked to net.lo. |
28 |
|
29 |
Now, when I try |
30 |
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |
31 |
|
32 |
the screen gets blanked on a console as well as from an XTerm |
33 |
and the kernel crashes totally, i.e. the emergency reboot doesn't work |
34 |
either. And trying to do an strace with output to a file shows that |
35 |
even this output file doesn't exist (i.e. hasn't been closed) |
36 |
|
37 |
So, what can I try next? |
38 |
|
39 |
Many thanks for a hint, |

Helmut. |
