Hello,
Thanks for your feedback against this wireless driver packages.
But only if I connect to my and other router wifi with mode
"infrastructure". If I connect to my server firewall, witch share our
wireless network card in to mode "ad-hoc" do not work.
On another Notebook with BCM 4313 (not supported from b43
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices ) card, I have
use wl driver and I had rebuild the src.rpm and modify the make command with
"make API=WEXT", in this mode the driver can connect into both mode.
With wl-bcm43142 I could not try this trick , but I think that would work.
If you're interested, I can try in a few days.
Do you have some suggest for me?
As the bcm43142 packages already contain the WEXT-API configuration elements,
like the official akmod-wl and broadcom-wl packages, I think you should get
this working. Simply follow the steps provided in the
/usr/share/doc/broadcom-wl-bcm43142-6.20.55.19/fedora.readme file from the
broadcom-wl-bcm43142 package. One thing to do is to uninstall the
kmod-wl-bcm43142 package, and use only the akmod-wl-bcm43142 one.
Hope this will be useful, as I don't own myself such a device.
Feel free to provide any feedback you thing necessary.
Cordially,
