How to install wifi wirt old broadcom

[mariush444]

I need install WiFi with BCM4306.
I had old Manjaro April-2023 , there I installed BCM using B43-classic and b43-firmware-classic. But now, they are doesn’t exist.

I tried broadcom-wl-dkms and broadcom-wl, b43-fwcutter No success.

So, how to do with

6.12.63-1-MANJARO

Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN vendor: Linksys WMP54GS
v1.0 802.11g Wireless-G PCI with SpeedBooster driver: N/A bus-ID: 05:01.0
chip-ID: 14e4:4320 class-ID: 0280

?

for

@mariush444

broadcom-wl-dkms

you need to have the kernel headers installed - for the kernel that you are using
… and dkms itself … and probably base-devel

but there are precompiled versions for each supported kernel version in the repo
for example:
linux612-broadcom-wl

there is no [quote=“mariush444, post:1, topic:184270”]
broadcom-wl package in the repositories

b43-firmware-classic is in the AUR

[mariush444]

solution:
back to kernel 6.6
6.12 can’t link to driver in any way.
bad news - it supported till Dec. 2026
