Reinstalling LL after losing wifi due to installing updates
#18
Just some more info to read for you broadcom chip users.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDo...er/bcm43xx

Since Linux-Lite 2.0 is based on Ubuntu 14.04

It explains that the wl driver is the proprietary broadcom driver and b43 is the open source driver.
Confusing I know. But that is broadcoms fault, (just my opinion).

For the b43 open source :

Quote:Note: Not all PCI-ID's and/or modes are supported.

So pcid with broadcom is a must. Seems like all broadcom chips are not created equal.
You should though just be able to get your 4311 working. Just some other colored hoops
broadcom wants you to jump through is all. And they do make it hard.
LL 3.6,2.8
Dell XT2 > Touchscreen Laptop
Dell 755 > Desktop
Acer 150 > Desktop
I am who I am. Your approval is not needed.
