Hi everyone, I just picked up a new/used Dell XPS 13 9350 and I have installed Leap on it, dual boot, from an installation stick. The first thing I need to do in order to get it to run effectively is to get the network running.
I am reading a lot about getting networks running, and there seems to be some conflicting information, but here is the gist.
Since broadcom drivers are not packaged with opensuse, I have to get them from packman.
Here is my hardware: # hwinfo --netcard 24: PCI 3a00.0: 0280 Network controller [Created at pci.366] Unique ID: wEmM.V+SdiVP1_e1 Parent ID: QSNP.vlzHRHZSxX0 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:3a:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:3a:00.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "Broadcom Network controller" Vendor: pci 0x14e4 "Broadcom" Device: pci 0x43a3 You need kernel 4.4 or above.
Ok, that page, I think, said that I need the brcmfmac driver, because my 43a3 device has a BCM4350 chipset. Is that right? If so, it led me to this page, http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/log/ And these are the firmware files that *might* apply, but it is pretty hard for me to figure out if this is right: ----- 2016-01-25 brcm: add firmware for bcm4366 device Arend van Spriel 2 -0/+1 2016-01-10 brcm: add firmware for BCM4350 rev 5 Arend van Spriel 2 -0/+1 2016-01-10 fix permissions on brcm/brcmfmac4371-pcie.bin Kyle McMartin 1 -0/+0 2015-11-27 brcm: add initial firmware for bcm4371 11ac wifi device ----- The only one of those files that has "brcmfmac" is the 3rd one down in the list and it doesn't describe it as the firmware files, but only some kind of patch to fix permissions. So how would I find the actual firmware files I need for this chipset? -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | Gnome new | Core i5?? | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
