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 at free.fr> To: centos at 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, -- wwp -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
