Description Wolfgang Bornath 2014-03-27 04:55:30 CET

lspcidrake:
Broadcom BCM4312 (vendor: 14e4 device:4315 subv:14e4 subd:04b5)

Bug:
Mageia 4 Installer (i586) picks the module 'ssb' which does not work.

Solution:
Install package dkms-broadcom-wl (nonfree) which works ok.

Thomas, this BCM4312 seems to be yet another case where wl driver is needed..
