Dear All,
I'm having trouble on 2 laptops Lenovo B580 since upgrading to Centos6.5. ( Because it's a Lenovo I cannot switch the network card for a better supported network card. )
There on the latest kernel :
root@jac network-scripts]# uname -a Linux jac.cawdekempen 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 13 13:06:13 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
With the help of the Elrepo Broadcom page I got the driver and that part works fine. The network card works :
# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules # PCI device 0x14e4:0x4727 (wl) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="c0:14:3d:c1:f6:ef", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

But I cannot connect to any wireless network with neither of the machines.
I click on the gnome-nm-applet and type in the password.

Got the exact same problem after upgrading to CentOS 6.5, and I was not the only one. The archives of this ML would bring you help, check the thread I started: Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:26:19 +0100 From: wwp subscript@free.fr To: centos@centos.org Subject: [CentOS] Upgrade to CentOS 6.5 -> issue with Broadcom Wifi
As suggested by contributors here, and as written at http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod, I ended up installing the latest available driver by building the RPM from the archive of the sources. The procedure is described at the link above.

Hello,
thanks for the reply.
I did build the driver, using wl-kmod-6_30_223_141-2.el6.elrepo.nosrc.rpm http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/SRPMS/wl-kmod-6_30_223_141-2.el6.elrepo.nosrc.rpm and hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_141.tar.gz This resulted in kmod-wl-6_30_223_141-2.el6.local.x86_64.rpm which I hope is the latest.
This results in a working network card, so that part went fine.
I guess the wpa_supplicant is maybe a different issue.

Dear All,
looks to me I was having trouble with this cards because I still had the Elrepo - compiled drivers installed. Seems like Broadcom BCM4313 now works out of the box.

But I cannot connect to any wireless network with neither of the machines.
I click on the gnome-nm-applet and type in the password.

googling for "centos6 WPASupplicant.Interface" doesn't exist#012" I found this bug:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5834
could this be the same issue?
Got the exact same problem after upgrading to CentOS 6.5, and I was not the only one. The archives of this ML would bring you help, check the thread I started: Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:26:19 +0100 From: wwp subscript@free.fr To: centos@centos.org Subject: [CentOS] Upgrade to CentOS 6.5 -> issue with Broadcom Wifi
As suggested by contributors here, and as written at http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod, I ended up installing the latest available driver by building the RPM from the archive of the sources. The procedure is described at the link above.
Regards,
Hello,
thanks for the reply.
I did build the driver, using wl-kmod-6_30_223_141-2.el6.elrepo.nosrc.rpm http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/SRPMS/wl-kmod-6_30_223_141-2.el6.elrepo.nosrc.rpm and hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_141.tar.gz This resulted in kmod-wl-6_30_223_141-2.el6.local.x86_64.rpm which I hope is the latest.
This results in a working network card, so that part went fine.
I guess the wpa_supplicant is maybe a different issue.

Dear All,
looks to me I was having trouble with this cards because I still had the Elrepo - compiled drivers installed. Seems like Broadcom BCM4313 now works out of the box.

I have now found out I have two types of cards:
Broadcom BCM4313 cards, subsystem : Subsystem: Foxconn International. These work with bcma.
Broadcom BCM4313 cards, subsystem : Broadcom. For these I need the Elrepo driver, *and* blacklist bcma.
Then all works fine.
Greetings, J.
