Trying to install this to drive my broadcom 4311, and Rox term keeps saying I need a destination file operand. This is not n00b Kansas, Toto. . . what now?

Oh it IS n00b Kansas! From here >> http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 464#448464

Code: Select all

05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) 
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Would've been good if you had followed up with, then gave feedback on rcrsn51s`suggestion.

I didn't look that closely but, there might be something just as usable in this thread.

While I may be a hopeless, chronic n00b, I don't want to seem a total ingrate. Please understand that many times those of us in n00bville can't follow directions because we don't understand and/or our computers don't do what they're supposed to. In the case of RC's suggestion, I looked for and couldn't find the "Lupu thread." I looked at the links Semme sent, and I will tackle them when I get home from work.
Thanks for your patience, y'all.

It's here. And there is lots of Broadcom info here.

Thanks again for your patience, RC.

In trying to follow one of the links you sent, I ran into Mr. Operand again. I have questions about running install: all the instructions say you have to do sudo and apt-get: they don't work for me, and I'm assuming that means I'm an administrator (woo-hoo!)?

A built-in assumption here is that, if "puppy" isn't specifically mentioned as an alternative in picking fixes, and puppy 5.2.8 is ubuntu-based, that picking Ubuntu would work.


Anyway, here's the demsg output. . .try to stay awake. .

PS: I've seen some claims that newer versions of 528 have fixes for this built in. If this is so, and the Broadcom 4311 in this Dell 1501 is problematic, would I be better off making a disk of, say, 5.5?

Hi...

I would guess this to be your problem. What is the kernel version of your copy of Lucid? This will tell us how to proceed. :wink:

Code: Select all

uname -r
Thanks :)

You have gleaned this instruction from some other Linux distro - it installs the firmware that the b43 wifi driver requires ...
but modern Puppy versions already contain this firmware, so it's not entirely correct.
There's a chance that your wifi device requires the alternative "LP-PHY" firmware which I provided here -
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 464#448464
and that would an easy thing to try ...
just remember to reboot after installing the new firmware.

If your wifi device still doesn't work, the solution would be to install the vendor-supplied proprietary "wl" wifi driver.
As forum member Semme mentioned earlier, this driver is available for Lucid here -
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 596#421596
Be careful, this requires some extra effort - specifically you need to blacklist the ssb driver, to avoid a driver conflict.

uname -r puts out 2.6.33.2

Does the operand thing mean I can't install something unless I an address to install it TO?

Hi...

Thanks. Could you supply us with more information about this "operand?" When do you get this error and is there any additional information given when it does come up?

Thanks...

On my Dell 1501 running a disk of puppy 528 with a kernel version of 2.6.33.2 my Broadcom wireless the Wlan is always down, so I'm trying to get a new driver. One suggestion was to install firmware-linux-nonfree, but I get "missing destination file operand after install". I looked up "install help", but couldn't tell which operand I should use.

I had to switch to Super Lucid Puppy (SuLu) which has a newer kernel in order to get my Acer Aspire laptop to hook up to WiFi.

This is the advice to follow >> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 567#794567

System >> BootManager >> "blacklist" a module.

Methodical trial'n error'll get'choo there.

... yes, to my post within this forum thread.
Since you appear to have overlooked it, or misunderstood the information, let me summarise:

option i) install my "LP-PHY" firmware dotpet, and reboot.

option ii) install the proprietary "wl" wifi driver, with additional tips regarding how to blacklist the ssb module just provided by Semme.

Please, please forget about the "firmware-b43-installer". As I said before, it's not relevant to Puppy.

So I go to System>BootManager>Blacklist and in the "remove" list it has "B43" and further down "ssb". I guess both of these are to be blacklisted. I click "remove" and "OK" and reboot. . .they're still there. I downloaded the LP-PHY. . .now where do I install it?

No no. You appear to be combining the 2 options I listed.

It's a case of either/or, because option 1 becomes disabled once option 2 is implemented. And worse, since you appear to be partially implementing option 2, both options will fail.
Just go back and take your time to read the original instructions.

If/when you get to option 2, yes, it's OK to blacklist both b43 and ssb, but it's actually only necessary to blacklist ssb. That's the module (driver) that will attempt to claim your wifi device's hardware ID.

It's a dotpet. Once you click on it (in ROX), all installation files are "magically" installed to the correct locations.

Hi...

Before you install anything, wait for someone to give you further instructions! You might have to manually blacklist b43 and ssb but at the moment, I don't recall which file you do this in. :!:

EDIT: Never mind, looks like tempestuous got to it. Hang in there, the experience you gain now in Linux will help you down the road. :)

Regards...
