Broadcom card/PCLOS '07 help?

[buccaneere]

I've never gotten my laptop online wireless.

Anybody familiar with HPdv9000 Broadcom in '07 version? Diagnostics sequence?

Thanks...

[Leiche]

dkms-broadcom-wl installed?

[buccaneere]

Thanks there Leiche...

Well, I can't bring up Synaptic through GUI. "Sorry - KDE su"

What's the cli command to bring up Synaptic? (or to check on dkms-broadcom-wl)

Another question, did you have connection to internet at lan?

This might be the machine that I 'broke' Synaptic last March when I was doing the direct download upgrade... 

Right now it is not online; I can plug in a hardline to get it online.

Where's 'Take Screenshot'? Can you read this one?

Okay, try it again, or change repo, because...
It don't get with package, and so it can't update your system

Change repo, search for sources.list. It is in /etc/apt/sources.list
As sample, my sources.list

Code:

To change the repo, you must be root, and add # on your active URL

as sample
active
rpm http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/texstar/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2007 main extra nonfree kde4  

disabled

You should only one repo sources enable, by more you get errors

Hope it will help

buccaneere,

looks like you are running an outdated PCLOS2007. Selective updating will most likely not work and a complete update be very tricky.
You may have a better chance getting your wireless working by downloading and installing (+updating) a recent PCLinuxOS iso.
-p.

[Leiche]

Yes indeed, it's a better way to install a new Iso.

But if you don't have possibility to do that, so i have a little script created, that you help to download something from our repo 

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2077694/reinstall.tar.gz

Simple unpack it with ark on your desktop and click on it

Good Luck
