Pogoplug V02 - Arch 3.12.6 missing brcm80211?

Postby giftedhamster » Tue Dec 24, 2013 8:38 pm

From what I can tell, my version of Arch doesn't have the brcm80211 drivers installed, though it was my understanding that these drivers were part of the kernel. I'm using a Linksys AE2500 (BCM43236) USB device that is recognized by lsusb, but the module doesn't autoload on boot. When I try to run manually load the module, I get this:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'modprob brcmfmac
modprobe: FATAL: Module brcmfmac not found.')
What's weird is that I do have the firmware files for the wireless devices, but I can't seem to find the driver modules for them anywhere. Am I missing something?

EDIT: Also just realized that this post is probably in the wrong forum. A mod can feel free to move it.

That was my first time doing a pull request to a real project, so let me know if I messed anything up.

Awesome! Thanks!

Just so I'm clear, in the linux-kirkwood PKGBUILD, I should have made pkgrel=2 and I would have updated the third md5 checksum, correct? That was all I missed?
