GENERAL

-------

​

This is an OFFICAL-RELEASE of Broadcom's IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n hybrid Linux device

driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, and BCM4322-based

hardware.

​

This driver also supports the incorrectly identified BCM4328 chipset which is

actually a BCM4321 or BCM4322 chipset.

​

--------------------------

INSTALLATION & USAGE NOTES 

--------------------------

​

This driver conflicts with the Linux community provided driver for Broadcom 

hardware and cannot be used at the same time. It also conflicts with the ssb

driver and ndiswrapper Broadcom windows drivers. 

​

To overcome these conflicts this package installs the file 

/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl-blacklist which blacklists the following kernel

modules to prevent them from loading:

​

b43

bcm43xx

ssb

ndiswrapper

​

If you require to use any of these modules for other installed hardware then 

you will need to comment out the corresponding entry for that module. Note 

that doing so may prevent this driver from functioning.

​

By default the wireless card used by this driver will usually be identified as

wlan0.
