Hey,
I am having trouble installing this driver - brcmsmac. I didn't get it during the core installation, so I have been trying to get it through pacman. Has anyone else gone through this? The wikis say that it has been part of the kernel for a while, so is there a direct way to get the brcmsmac driver?
Mike

Check if you have /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/kernel/drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/brcmsmac.ko.gz
Check if it got loaded
lsmod | grep brcmsmacIt it didn't, load it manually
# modprobe brcmsmacLast edited by karol (2011-10-05 22:55:52)

That's funny. I thought I had a later version of the kernel. It wasn't automatically included in my version: 2.6.34. So, should a simple:
pacman -Syurectify my issue by including the brcmsmac driver with the new kernel?
[EDIT]
Nevermind, it says that everything is up to date. So, how do you update kernel with pacman?

Is it a fresh Arch install? What mirrors are you using to sync your packages? You can grab a fresh mirrorlist http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ and try 'pacman -Syu' again.

So, while in the midst of upgrading, it was the mirrorlist BTW, I received this error after upgrading pacman:
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: liblzma.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryLast edited by masmidow (2011-10-05 23:32:00)
