hp mini 210 2290sf broadcom 43xx wifi

[Erdin Omanovic]

Hi,

I tried installing 4.4 RC2 on my hp mini 210, on its hard disk (an ext 3 partition). After solving the "no sound issue" (alsamixer + changing init.sh), I noticed that wifi worked only the first time.

Its wl module has something wrong, I suppose. 

lscpi -k | grep wl

01:00.0 Class 0280: 14e4:4727 wl

 

lsmod | grep wl

I don't know if these bring enough for thinking of a solution ? 

Thank you for any help / advice

Cheers

don't think there is any broadcom wifi enabled in kernel for RC2 / RC1

[Erdin Omanovic]

Thank you very much for your reply, rbg. Is there any way to find the code of RC2 and compile the kernel with broadcom wifi enabled ?

If there is a howto, I propose to do it and give back the result for sharing here.

Thanx again

I too would be very interested to know where to get the source code and how to
compile it myself.

I think it might help greatly to get Android-x86 working on more platforms
(and working with more devices on those platforms) if we can try out our own
patches and submit them upstream once we get them working.

Antony.

For those who had repeated BroadComm WiFi issues, a new test build

available here:

********************************************************************

WARNING: If you want to give it a try, keep in mind that:

 - These changes may contain bugs that could cause DATA LOSS

 - The hybrid wl driver has been replaced by the open source drivers

Use it AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU WERE ADVISED

********************************************************************

Please identify your broadcom chip (works/doesn't work):

  on linux use lspci -k

  on windows use device manager

my only available test device linksys WMP54G(v3) worked fine....need more test cases(devices)
