Philippe,

You can try ELRepo, I believe that they have the drivers for boderdom, they also have kernel 3.3.x, please read their note about using kernel 3.3.x. I have tried it and I did not have any issues with it.

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml

Check http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-compat-wireless to see if it supports your hardware with the standard kernel.

Hello,

The support for Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless is native in the kernel since 2.6.37 (module brcm80211, renamed brcmsmac since 2.6.39).

But is it backported to some kernel available for CentOS ?

Thanks,

Phil, Earl,

Thanks for pointing me to elrepo : yes, the kmod-compat-wireless page lists brcmsmac.ko.

If someone else find this mail while wanting to use its bcm4313 adapter : rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-4.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm download the firmware from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/ tar xzf linux-firmware-*.tar.gz mv linux-firmware-*/brcm/ /lib/firmware/ restorecon -rv /lib/firmware depmod -a : modprobe brcmsmac ... and it works.

Thanks again,

Philippe,

Thank you for the note. The kmod-compat-wireless wiki page has been updated using your lines as an example for installation.

Oh. After re-reading my post, I found a couple of mistakes : - the actual URL for the firmware is http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git;a=comm... - and the ";" turned ":" in "depmod -a ; modprobe brcmsmac"

Sorry for the inconvenience, and a lot of thanks for your job !
