Broadcom bcm4312 wireless

Download these:
http://bues.ch/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-018.tar.bz2
http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/br ... 38.tar.bz2

Code: Select all
tar -xjf b43-fwcutter-018.tar.bz2
cd b43-fwcutter-018
make
su
(password)
make install


Extract the second tarball.
Code: Select all
tar xjf broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2
su
(password)
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-5.100.138/linux/wl_apsta.o


If someone has had success doing it in jessie with packages from the repo, please tell us how you did it. In wheezy, there was a separate package for the lpphy interface, but that's supposed to be included in the regular b43 driver in jessie. Even with the broadcom-sta-dkms package, I couldn't get it to see the wireless interface.

I got the bcm 4313, and used the wl driver, which works. It seems to be compatible with 4312 too
