Broadcom wireless

(1/1)

black-clover:
Hello,

Just installed NuTyX and I am very impressed.
I have a little problem though.

My laptop wireless card is Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) on wlan0, NuTyX does not seem to recognize it though.
I configured the wpa_supplicant during install and lsmod shows the b43 module which is, as far as I know,  the right one.
But when I try

ifconfig wlan0 up

It says wlan0 point does not exist.

I can connect to the internet in chroot from my host distro and run cards, I installed the base packages already, so I'd like to know if is there any driver that I should install to make my wireless work.

Thanks.

Also I noticed that the /sys directory is empty, there is no /sys/class/net folder.
So I don't know where to check my network device.

Thierry:
Hello black-clover,
Welcome to NuTyX,
I suggest that you also analyse the result of the command:

--- Code: ---dmesg
--- End code ---
They could be some error or warning messages telling you about missing firmware for exemple.

black-clover:
Merci beaucoup tnut,

Found what was missing and also the information about how to fix it.
As a new Linux user, this is what I find truly appealing about NuTyX.
An uncluttered distro which helps me to learn Linux workings. 
Since I am also studying French, I think I'll feel right at home here.

à bientôt

Great to hear that, don't worry and don't hesitate to register on the french forum, (it's more actif as well)
