#6474 new bug

wifi seems not to work with a BCM4312 : Vendor: 0x14e4, device:0x4312

Description (last modified by diver)

Hello,

I just finished to install HAIKU on may laptop (hp dv9000). Then I read the "welcome" text with WebPositive and follow the procedure for BCM43xx :

with my wired link in a terminal session I just enter the :

-> install-wifi-firmware.sh.

then the script downloads some firmware (I can' show you this because i made it before the issue), and at the end, the script seems finish without errors.

what I can see is the driver bcm43xx seems to see a 0x4311 device in place of 0x4312 ...In fact I don't know i the script is running well or not because at the first boot this is already the case (0x4311) ...

So how can I check the script is perfectly running ?

I just show you a shot cut of my syslog file concernig BCM43xx:

first the PCI scanning is detecing well the card :

KERN: PCI: [dom 0, bus  3] bus   3, device  0, function  0: vendor 14e4, device 4312, revision 02

the the driver is loaded but it seems to have some issue with the MAC rev 13 :

KERN: broadcom43xx: init_driver(0x81ec6228)

Thanks a lot for your replies

See #5545

Could actually be you need newer version of current wireless driver for your hardware. (ie: updating of wireless driver). Most likely because current driver does appear to support your MAC.

Either way, a developer will have to update bcm43xx driver or port over the other one for you whichever the case may be.

OK, thanck you for your reply

But when I examin the syslog file I saw the driver seems to detect a 0x4311 device instead of a 0x4312 ...So may be the MAC issue is only the following ?

So For me what is the schedule ?

What I could check to help you ?

Thancks a lot.

Yes,

What is the best way to find a new driver that support my card ?

Thanck you.

You have to wait for one of the developers to port over or fix the driver for you. Colin is the one who works on WiFi drivers.

There is no schedule. It can get done in one or two years, a few days or anytime in-between. Just depends if and when a developer wants to work on this driver or issue. You will have to wait for Colin to answer your ticket.

You should attach your syslog to this ticket.

filscauj: Any chance you are still around and have the hardware from this original ticket?
