[KDE-India] Broadcom BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless Lan Controller error

[Naman Muley]

Hey sagar,

I remember I had this problem a couple of years back. There are driver
problems with that chipset. afaik it is an older chipset that lacks
support. Broadcom has been notorious that way.

Have you seen the *brcmsmac* driver ?
have a look at these:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless#brcmsmac.2Fbrcmfmac


Also, I believe this is the wrong mailing-list. Try catching the
linux-wireless people on the IRC. They will have a better idea.
