I have a 2011 MBP with SL6 installed, is there a way to get the wireless working?

You might want to post more details on the system.
What do you get when you give the following command: lspci -------------------- What is SL? - Forum Rules - Info on 3rd Party Repos - How to post images - How to post large text / config files

That is the one to look for. I found the following article on Broadcom wireless adapters. If I read that one right, there is no native support for the BCM4331. That would mean that you need ndiswrapper and the Windows driver as alternative to get wireless working. -------------------- What is SL? - Forum Rules - Info on 3rd Party Repos - How to post images - How to post large text / config files

Yah,
as Redman says, so far no support and even the ndiswrapper is not reliable due to OS instability with it (reported on ubuntu forums) here ubuntu bmc4331 Look out here on the developers page, they say it should be done soon, so patience is only solution atm... developers info on bcm4331 cheers, -------------------- |
