Wireless

Wireless on S12 VIA platform

The wireless card contains an BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) chipset. There are two drivers:

• proprietary Broadcom STA driver. It can be installed with default hardware driver manager. Supports only channels from 1 to 11.
• b43 driver from compat-wireless-2.6 (in Ubuntu it included in linux-backports-modules-karmic package) with firmware from proprietary driver. In kernels 2.6.32 this version of driver will be in mainstream.

There is also an alternative driver called ndiswrapper, which uses the Windows-native drivers for the card. Before trying any of these drivers, ensure that only the wireless driver you wish to use is allowed to load by blacklisting the others. This is important, since drivers may load and compete for access to the hardware, leaving the end user confused. Here is an example of a blacklist file named /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-wifi that only allows the use of proprietary wl driver:

blacklist b43
blacklist ssb
blacklist ndiswrapper
# blacklist wl

Installation of b43 driver in Ubuntu 9.10

Use the current Git version of b43-fwcutter. Download, extract the b43-fwcutter tarball and build it:

git clone http://git.bu3sch.de/git/b43-tools.git
cd b43-tools/fwcutter
make
cd ..

Use version 4.174.64.19 of Broadcom's proprietary driver. (The tarball is mislabeled as "4.178.10.4", but it is actually 4.174.64.19.). Download and extract the firmware from this driver tarball:

export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux
sudo ../../fwcutter/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o

Unload all current modules for wireless card, then install compat-wireless-2.6 and load b43 driver:

sudo rmmod wl b43 mac80211 cfg80211 led_class ssb
sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-karmic
sudo modprobe b43
