Hi all,
I'm a complete newbie in Linux and am trying to get my Broadcom BCM4313 working in my Lenovo S10-3t netbook (CentOS 6.3 installed from LiveCD). I followed the steps in the wiki, which lead me to ELRepo: wl-kmod. I followed the instructions there until Step 2:
$ mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SPECS,SOURCES,SRPMS} $ echo -e "%_topdir $(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild\n%dist .el$(lsb_release -s -r|cut -d"." -f1).local" >> ~/.rpmmacros
Then I got stuck with this message:
bash: lsb_release: command not found
Are you referring to this ELRepo article?
http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod
It says, "yum install redhat-lsb". Also, if you follow the instructions in there, you will NOT be building the module as root. Mark has noted these points in his reply. So, please go through the wiki carefully and try not to skip any steps.
My apologies. I was careless and missed that step completely. The installation went fine (and this time I didn't use root unless specified), but I stumbled into more problems with the rpm build. More info on the forum: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_i...
Will you also show us the output returned by :
lspci -nn | grep -i net
I'd like to see the vendor:device pairing.
Sure! For my Lenovo S10-3t:
