bcm4312 on backtrack 4

[shadow_son]

hello.. i wanna ask something..
i have a laptop with wireless bcm4312 802.11b/g

i download driver for bcm4312

and this my step for an installasion :
1. root@shadow:/home/bcm#tar -xzvf hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5_10_91_9.tar.gz

2. Build Loadable Kernel Module :
root@shadow:/home/bcm#make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`

but i got an error like this :

root@h4x0r:/home/bcm# make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`

make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.29.4'

thanks for the help..

Everyone is tired of telling people to search so you probably won't get a reply. If you are expecting to do anything with that card except get internet you are in for a big surprise. I am new to linux and bt4 and if you just search a little you would realize broadcom doesn't publish their drivers so only afew cards will actually go into monitor mode and even less if any will inject. I made a post about a week ago introducing myself and my setup. I have the same card and didn't compile anything. What's more I am using it right now. You shouldn't have to do anything except maybe put your wpa supplicant to wext. This applies to bt4 pre-final.Good Luck

Built in bcm4312 broadcom card works excellent on BT4 Pre Final. No need for driver installation or patching. It uses b43 driver already in BT4PF working on managed and monitor mode (at the same time). Injection also works excellent.

@ revman15

Check your facts before posting, and search a little harder yourself. Especially when trying to help, otherwise you're giving out incorrect info.

Hi,

I have a laptop with bcm4312 and I have tried using b43 module. The module loads but no device is created. After modprobe b43, dmesg shows the following:

        (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 3000 mBm)

But, like I said before, no new device is created. Is there any parameter that has to be passed?

Thanks in advance

lspci -vnn | grep 14e4

type that, if the output spits out "14e4:4315" or "14e4:4312" ur outta luck with the b43 drivers. that means u just have to use the linux_sta drivers which do not support injection.

Built in bcm4312 broadcom card works excellent on BT4 Pre Final. No need for driver installation or patching. It uses b43 driver already in BT4PF working on managed and monitor mode (at the same time). Injection also works excellent.

revman is actually partially right. the b43 drivers dont support certain pci-id's which are actually really common. certain bcm4312 cards work with injection and what not and some dont. it all depends on the pci-id and its compatibility with b43.

root@bt:~# lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
10:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4312] (rev 02)

Works like a charm on my HP.

must just be the 14e4:4315 then.

[admrt]

The result of lspci -vnn|grep 14e4 on my laptop is:

04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)

And it doesn't work...

[cunninglinguist]

Hi,

I don't know how useful this info is. I installed BT4 on Dell Mini 12 and got the following o/p from lspci -vnn | grep 14e4

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11B/G [14e4:4315] (rev 01) Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation device [14e4:04b5]

Wireless doesn't work.

I also installed BT3 on Samsung NC10 (has the Atheros card) and it works fine, however wireless doesn't work on NC10 with BT4.

hi to all

I am sorry, I know that this thread is old, but I plan to buy lenovo ideapad s10e, with Broadcom BCM4312 card so if you can say 100% will it works with backtrack 4 pre final, monitor and injection? thank you...
