Unix & Linux Asked on December 12, 2021
It seems to be that the drivers are installed for BCM43142 on my laptop:
lspci -k
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1704 802.11n + BT 4.0
Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
kernel modules: bcma
However, there seems to be no wireless interface associated with this device:
ip link
doesn’t output any information for a wireless device. I’ve looked at the Archlinux docs and it doesn’t say how to attach an interface (i.e. wlan0) to the wireless device. Any idea how I would go about correcting this issue?
dmesg| grep bcma
Update : I am getting the following dmesg
output
