Ceni does not see wifi for new Acer laptop, broadcom bcm43227.
Kernel 3.2.1 64-bit aptosid. Dual booting with Windows 7.
Windows 7 wifi works.
Have non-free installed. wf-detect sees nothing.
Tried br43 and legacy as well - does not detect.
Any Suggestions? Thanks |

You need broadcom-sta, so do
apt-get install broadcom-sta-source
m-a a-i broadcom-sta-source
and reboot
After that, ceni should show your wlan-card. |

That's your problem. I'd have to take a look at the code to figure out why that's happening though. You're probably better off asking the devs of that module about it. |
