Make wicd working
Posted: 17. Jun 2011, 03:19
When I installed Salix-13.37 into HP-2133 Mine-Note I was initially unable to connect to the Internet since I could not get wicd to work the
wireless.
After vasting a lot of time and growing a few more grey hairs I finally had the grand idea to copy from VL-7-Live the following files
to Salix: /lib/firmware/b43 and ../b43legacy as well as all the files /lib/firmware/bcm43xx*.
Having done this and enable wlan0 in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf the wireless Interconnection roared to live.
Question: why are those files not included in Salix when apparently they are needed for wirless Internet connection at least in this small lappy?
