Good morning everyone,

I'm having trouble getting my BCM4312 working under Qubes. I've poked around the archives a bit and I know from experience that Broadcom and Linux haven't always been the best of friends, but maybe there's a solution I'm missing.

The card shows up in lspci without any issues. I have the latest b43 drivers installed in the netVM template. Nevertheless, the drivers don't auto-load, and modprobing them doesn't cause the card to show up as a network device.

I tried making a Debian netVM because I know Broadcom support on Debian is slightly better, but no joy there either.

I have wireless working on a USB adapter but that has issues of its own, so I'd like to get the internal working if possible. Any tips or assistance would be very much appreciated.

Notice: I "resolved" this issue by swapping out for an Intel wireless NIC. Since I won't be able to troubleshoot I'm calling the thread closed.
