02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM57765 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10) 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02) There is no native support in kernel Linux debian 3.7.9-lina #1 SMP Tue Feb 19 00:18:06 SGT 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux back then. So I followed the advice, install the following, b43-fwcutter-015 compat-wireless-2012-05-09 broadcom-wl-5.100.138 under /etc/modules # more modules # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored. # Parameters can be specified after the module name. firewire-sbp2 loop ## add coretemp coretemp Basically I only need wireless very very occasionally. That's why I don't update the kernel, cause I also need fix the fglrx-driver issue.
