Broadcom install locking up
#2
Hello!

There are three major proprietary Broadcom drivers out there - bcmwl, b43, and b43legacy. You may have to use a wired connection, a wireless stick the Linux kernel DOES recognize, or a tethered mobile phone connection to go out there and actually download the driver.

Here's how to tell which driver you'll need:

Using the shortcut >_ on the bottom panel or CTRL-ALT-T, open a terminal window (SHIFT-\ will type the "|" character), and type this:

Code:
lspci -vnn | 14e4

This will return a code (14e4:43xx) and a verbose description of exactly which card you have. You can either Google that result or post it here, and someone will tell you how to go forward from there...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
