I've gamely loaded 11.0 onto a few machines, a couple of desktops and a laptop. My laptop is a compaq V6000 with bcm4311 wireless. For the most part things are OK other than an odd boot sector problem that has needed repair on 2 of the 3 systems.
The main issue at this point is wireless, which worked fine in 10.3 after I installed thethe bcm43xx driver and fwcutter packages, but it will not come up in 11.0.
I have the bcm43xx package from packman, and the b43-fwcutter package installed. There is no bcm43xx driver, and the system doesn't seem to know which driver to use.
If I boot ubuntu 804 on the same laptop, the wireless comes right up, using a native driver called b43.
Here's what lspci says:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01)
Any ideas?
Joe -- You need to use the b43 driver and have the firmware in /lib/firmware/b43. I have the same chip on an hp6772 and it works fine. Do not use the bcm43xx driver.
