I have recently upgraded a laptop from 13,1 to 13.2 and I am now having trouble with the wireless adapter. It is a Dell Wireless 1704 with Broadcom BCM43412 chipset.
Out of the box the bluetooth wirks but not the wifi. lspci shows the adapter fine.
I was very surprised when I installed 13.1 some time ago and the Broadcom adater actually worked because this is the only Broadcom card I have EVER seen working in Linux (OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian and CentOS). Obviously I got my hopes up too soon and now it does not work in 13.2.
On 13.1 all I had to do was install broadcom-wl then reboot and the card worked fine. However on 13.2 this does not work and performing those same steps achieves nothing.
I have just reinstalled 13.1 and can replicate the installation and the card works fine. I have tried 13.2 again and no luck.
Apart from the obvious solution to every Broadcom driver issue that I have encountered in the past. (Which is to buy a Wireless adapter that works properly with Linux out of the box like Atheros or Realtek :D). Does anyone have any ideas? Hi Did you install the broadcom-wl package as well as the kmp? Either the blacklist isn't installed or missing firmware...
