Hi,
it is likely that the module used by your card is the b43 one, provided by
the kernel.
But this module requires also a firmware.
Anyway I think that the proprietary module wl supports also 4311 chipsets.
Did you installed some third-party drivers?
What return the following commands ?
lsmod | egrep "b43|wl"
rpm -qa \*kmod\* \*firmware
lspci -k
Hi Mohamed,
Thank you for your help. In those two or three very helpful sentences
you've brought me a long way.
The commands you asked for return the following:
