The line that invokes b43-fwcutter will need to be changed to execute the program emerged above.

#BROADCOM WL DRIVER MONITOR MODE DOWNLOAD#

You need to 'emerge b43-fwcutter', and then follow the instructions below to download the Broadcom driver. Gentoo systems supply a pre-compiled binary for b43-fwcutter.

#BROADCOM WL DRIVER MONITOR MODE INSTALL#

You will be asked to automatically fetch and install the firmware into the right location. With Fedora 10 and above, You need to install the b43-fwcutter tool (which will extract firmware from the Windows driver) and wget: Please post details for distros that are missed at.

#BROADCOM WL DRIVER MONITOR MODE DRIVER#

Because the proprietary driver containing the firmware cannot be included in the distribution, you will need a working connection to the Internet. In general these consist of a special command entered at a terminal. Some distributions have special methods for installing the firmware.

#BROADCOM WL DRIVER MONITOR MODE DRIVERS#

Please note that the firmware from the binary drivers is copyrighted by Broadcom Corporation and must not be redistributed. Then you must extract the firmware from that Broadcom driver by using b43-fwcutter (or bcm43xx-fwcutter) and install it in the special directory for firmware - usually /lib/firmware. To get such firmware on your system, you must download the driver from a legal distribution point, as noted below. This firmware is copyrighted by Broadcom and must be extracted from Broadcom's proprietary drivers. The Broadcom wireless chip needs software, called 'firmware', that runs on the wireless chip itself during operation. Please note that we do not support users with wl drivers, you should email Broadcom for support. Support IRC channel #bcm-users (English please). Thanks! Please see the donations page for details. Many people have donated money, hardware or other services to make this driver possible. Probably something else that's not listed under 'Works'.ДЄP mode using 4318 because of packet loss in high transmission rates.Probably something we forgot to add here.(Does not protect against external BT dongles)

#BROADCOM WL DRIVER MONITOR MODE BLUETOOTH#

Bluetooth coexistence protection, if the bluetooth card is physically connected to the wireless chip.

Packet injection (with radiotap no FCS injection currently though hardware supports it - a radiotap flag is being discussed for this).

In-Hardware MAC address filter (b43 only impossible on b43legacy hardware).

In-Hardware traffic de/encryption (relieves your CPU).

'Monitor while operating' and multiple monitor interfaces.

Feel free to notify the devs via mailing list and/or IRC channel of newer variants

Any other Broadcom chipsets not listed above are not supported.

BCM4321 - These devices have unsupported N-PHYs.

BCM4322 a/b/g/n - These device have unsupported N-PHYs.

The 802.11a part of the 43 is not supported.Д«CM4320 USB - not supported by b43/b43legacy, try rndis_wlan.

linux-kernel 2.6.32 is needed, 2.6.33 or latter is recommended)

BCM4313 with b/g (partially supported in 2.6.32, however 2.6.33 or latter is recommended).

BCM4312 with a/b/g (only the 2.4GHz part).

Often the PCI-ID equals the Chip-ID, but that's not always the case and it's a constant source of confusion.

The Chip-ID is printed to the kernel log by the b43 driver on startup (example):

Note that the PCI-ID is _not_ in direct correlation with the Chip-ID. Partially supported 2.6.33 and later (PIO mode) In the table below you can check whether your device is supported. You should ignore anything, except the last part inside of the brackets. The command will result in a string similiar to this example:Д 001:01:01.0 Network controller : Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

Whether a PCI device is supported by the b43/b43legacy driver can be found out with the lspci command: Note that card identified as BCM 4310 USB (with outdated lspci databse) is BCM4312 and uses the PCI-E bus, despite its name. The b43/b43legacy driver will never support this device. If you have an USB device with Broadcom chip, please try the rndis_wlan driver. Please read this whole document and the FAQ before asking any questions to the developers.ДЄll Broadcom chips require firmware that is loaded onto the wireless chip before it can operate.

What's the difference between b43legacy and b43?.
