I was running CentOS 6.4 system on my Dell Latitude E6530 flawlessly, until I upgraded to CentOS 6.5.
Now the wifi doesn't show up (it's a Broadcom Wifi BT4313, 14e4:4727), I tried to follow the steps from http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom but when attempting to compile the Broadcom driver module, the make command fails in a way that is not described on this web page. Anyway, the page deals w/ CentOS5 without being specific.
I tried w/ both hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_112.tar.gz (the one which *I think* was formerly installed) and the latest available: hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_141.tar.gz; same compilation errors (see below).
I simply could not remember how I had the Broadcom Wifi chip working since CentOS 6.x, but I clearly remember that I had to install the driver (I presume from the sources since I've found them in my setup archives, but not sure). I have the following RPM's installed: b43-openfwwf-5.2-4.el6.noarch b43-fwcutter-012-2.2.el6.x86_64
I wonder if the kernel update breaks it.. Does any one have experience with this driver and CentOS 6.5?
More data:
it seems that I had formerly followed steps from http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod, as I could find kmod-wl-5_100_82_112-9.el6.el6.local.x86_64.rpm installed locally, and RPM assembly stuff in ~/rpmbuild/.
No better idea why it doesn't work since CentOS 6.5, unfortunately!
