Fedora 18 “Spherical Cow” have problem with wireless driver. I use macbook Pro at this example, and here is my wireless by “lspci” :
1 2 | 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10) |
Then I need to install the “broadcom-wl” package by:
1 | sudo yum install kmod-wl-`uname -r` |
UPDATE
Update Fedora to the latest kernel (3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64) will solve this wireless problem which that mean no need to disable “ssb” since isn’t loaded as default.
Then this is the magic :
1. Remove SSB module that make the wireless can’t works
1 | sudo rmmod ssb |
2. add blacklist ssb into modprobe
Then we need to edit and add “blacklist ssb” into “/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf”.
3. Enable wireless
1 | sudo modprobe wl |
Voilla! Now our wireless working in Fedora 18! 😀
