Slitaz 4.0 stable - broadcom 4306

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure the wifi on my dell m60 without success.

I'm using slitaz stale 4.0, my adapter is a broadcom 4306 rev.3.

[c]02:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03)[/c]
I'm using "get-b43-firmware" to install the firmware. "linux-wireless" and "wireless-tools" package are installed.

There is no error during the install.

The b43 module is loading, but with an error about not sure if it is related :

Dec  1 12:29:02 (none) user.info kernel: Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PL, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]

Dec  1 12:29:02 (none) daemon.err udevd[16811]: error binding udev control socket

Restarting the network gets the following errors :

ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

Configuring wlan0...                                                 [ OK ]

Starting udhcpc client on: wlan0...

udhcpc: sendto: Network is down

Re: Slitaz 4.0 stable - broadcom 4306

get-b43-firmware script needs to be reconfigured, source has changed:

/usr/bin/get-b43-firmware: cd: line 165: can't cd to broadcom-wl-5.100.138/driver

Cannot open input file wl_apsta_mimo.o

Install b43-firmware from this tazpkg instead.

Download:  http://www.mediafire.com/file/5yv8udt37cl7adl/b43-firmware-4.150.10.5.tazpkg

[c]# tazpkg remove b43-firmware[/c]

[c]# tazpkg install b43-firmware-4.150.10.5.tazpkg[/c]

[c]# /etc/init.d/network.sh stop[/c]

[c]# modprobe -r b43[/c]

[c]# modprobe b43[/c]

[c]# /etc/init.d/network.sh start[/c]

If you need more help post output:

[c]lsmod | grep b43[/c]

[c]ls /sys/class/net[/c]

[c]cat /etc/network.conf[/c]
