[mrmrn]

first of all, thank you for this great distro.
I have some issue with wifi and vpn connection.

1)I have a broadcom "bcm4313" wireless.
I did this step but wicd can not find wireless adpters:

Code: Select all

slapt-get -u
slapt-get -i b43-fwcutter
cd /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/
mkdir b43
cd b43
cat /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/b43-firmware-4.150.10.5.SLKBUILD > SLKBUILD
slkbuild -X
spkg -i b43-firmware-4.150.10.5-fw-1pw.txz
modprobe b43

what i do so for connecting to internet via wireless?

2)how can i install pptp-linux pacage in salilix? i searchesd in slapt gui but couldnt find it?

Over at Slackwiki also may be useful you may be looking for the wl driver. slackwiki.com/Broadcom_Wireless

If you already had a wired connection then maybe try.

sbopkg -i broadcom-sta
