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
Next, I tried using the driver from Broadcom site, and ended up with this message:

Trying to install something from another distro's always problematical, given variances in numbering and dependencies. The "missing module license" implies there's something not d/l, and if you'd been in a debian/ubuntu system, and used apt-get, you'd have gotten it.
I did some googling, and found http://ktaraghi.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-install-broadcom-bcm4311-bcm4312.html. Personally, since it's a system driver, I'd sudo -s, mkdir /usr/local/src, and do the work in there. Other than than, and it's from this year, you might have better results.

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.
Will you also show us the output returned by :
lspci -nn | grep -i net
I'd like to see the vendor:device pairing.

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...

Sure! For my Lenovo S10-3t:
05:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe [14e4:1692] (rev 01) 07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)

Why don't we continue this on the forums? People who are interested can follow that thread.

The ID pairing [14e4:4727] indicates that it is supported by the bcma driver offered by the kmod-compat-wireless package from ELRepo:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-compat-wireless
If this one works for you, you'd not have to go through building of the wl module.
Akemi
P.S. All of this should have been done on the ELRepo mailing list. :)
