Wireless problems.

Hi,

I intalled Slitaz 4 in my HP netbook it works really well, but i have only one problem. I'm unable to connect to a wireless network, I can see all the networks around me but I can't connect to them. I downloaded and installed this firmware: broadcom-wl-5_100_82_112_2.6.37.tazpkg , and I also did the modprobe to the module.

My wireless is a Broadcom BCM4313 here is the output of lspci | grep Network:

ronald@slitaz:~$ lspci | grep Network

02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)

Here is the output of lsmod:

ronald@slitaz:~$ lsmod

Re: Wireless problems.

Hello romasa2k,

How did you configure your network.conf? Generally

[c]INTERFACE="eth0"[/c]

and

[c]WIFI_INTERFACE="wlan0"[/c]

And where did you find broadcom-wl-5_100_82_112_2.6.37.tazpkg; I only see broadcom-wl-5.60.246.2.tazpkg but if you see all the ESSID, your wifi interface is working.
