To get such firmware on your system, you must download the driver from a legal distribution point, extract it, and install it. This firmware is copyrighted by Broadcom and must be extracted from Broadcom's proprietary drivers. The Broadcom wireless chip needs proprietary software (called "firmware") that runs on the wireless chip itself to work properly.

Probably something else that's not listed under "Works".

Probably something we forgot to add here.

(Does not protect against external BT dongles)

Bluetooth coexistence protection, if the bluetooth card is physically connected to the wireless chip.Packet injection (with radiotap no FCS injection currently though hardware supports it - a radiotap flag is being discussed for this).In-Hardware MAC address filter (b43 only impossible on b43legacy hardware).In-Hardware traffic de/encryption (relieves your CPU)."Monitor while operating" and multiple monitor interfaces.IRC: server is, channel is #bcm-users (English please).Please note that we do not support wl or brcm80211 drivers. Feel free to notify the devs via mailing list and/or IRC channel of newer chipsets.įor a list of available devices, please see the device list. All other Broadcom chipsets not listed above are not supported.

All Full MAC chips with either SDIO or USB interfaces use brcmfmac.

BCM4313 - chipset uses unsupported LCN PHY, we work on it.

The 802.11a part of the 4311 is not supported.

802.11a/n (5GHz) modes and power management are not yet supported HT phy cards (4331).

Often the PCI-ID equals the Chip ID, but that is not always the case and it is a constant source of confusion. Note that the PCI-ID is not in direct correlation with the Chip ID. Find that phrase in the below table to determine support. Ignore everything, except the last part inside of the. The command will output a string similar to this example:Ġ001:01:01.0 Network controller : Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) To find out whether a PCI device is supported by the b43 or b43legacy drivers, issue this lspci command: A workaround for older kernel is to use PIO mode (b43.pio=1 module param).

BCM4321: some cards do not work in DMA mode with kernel 3.1 and older.

Using PIO (module param) can be used as workaround for 2.6.īCM4318 chipset: AP mode does not work because of packet loss in high transmission rates.

LP-PHY devices: DMA errors on some machines with kernel 2.6.

See Switching between drivers for howto on choosing driver. It is possible to use only one driver at a moment, they are conflicting each other. The b43/b43legacy driver is not meant to support this device. If you have an Broadcom USB device, please use the rndis_wlan driver. The b43/b43legacy drivers require proprietary firmware to be loaded onto the wireless chip before it can operate, see below. Open-source driver from Broadcom (brcm80211).What's the difference between b43legacy and b43?.Other distributions not mentioned above.
