#BROADCOM BCM4360 & BCM43217 DRIVER#
Usually connecting to a different AP after being connected to one already required a full driver reload ( modprobe -r wl & modprobe -i wl), and it was annoying enough I just got rid of the entire laptop.

Once they get built, you can restart freely.īut on another note, with wl, you'd likely have to restart anyway even if you manage to build the driver the first time and manually load it due to some wpa-supplicant and randomized MAC address scanning issue if I recall right, the broadcom-wl package provides a NetworkManager conf snippet to disable that since it seems to be problematic on wl with newer/upstream wpa-supplicant versions.Įven with that snippet though, as of about 2-3 months ago, I still found that particular wireless card a total pain on Fedora 31 I had a MacBook Pro 2014 with it. NVIDIA's graphics driver on Fedora is also provided as a kmod and works in a similar manner.įor such drivers, after installing them, I run akmods -force to make sure the module(s) get built, but they usually are built within like a minute or two. This happens in the background, without any indication of it actually happening.

The wl driver from that package is a kmod, and needs to compile before it can be used. Apple Airport Extreme Broadcom BCM94360CS, BCM94360CS2, BCM94360CSAX AC Wireless Card Windows 7-10 Drivers. If you restarted imediately after installing the driver, that's likely what went wrong, and would explain why it worked after a reboot. The removed packages are depending on kernel 3.18 only and are not used on any recent kernel.

As we'll see when we get to performance, this design choice may severely limit this product's appeal.

The rear panel diagram below shows a sole USB 2.0 port and subtly identifies the single WAN and four switched LAN Ethernet ports as "Fast" aka 10/100 Mbps. Like the R6300 and R6250, the R6100 has only power, Internet, Wireless and USB status indicators on the front panel and no link or activity indicators for wired network traffic on either the front panel or Ethernet rear panel WAN or LAN ports.

It has same backlit icons shown in the diagram taken from the R6250's user manual below-the R6100's is not yet available. Aside from its size, you would think that you had an R6250 in your hands, with its upright stance and similar design features. the "Ultimate Performance" category where its cousins reside.Īs befits its lesser performance, the R6100 is physically smaller than the R6250, measuring 7" wide and 6.75" tall to the R6250's 7.5" wide and just shy of 8" tall.

This time, our attention is turned to the only NETGEAR AC router so far to be demoted to its "High Performance" router category vs. We've seen what NETGEAR has to offer in AC1750 and AC1600 class routers in the reviews of the R6300 and R6250. Qualcomm Atheros based draft 802.11ac AC1200 router with storage sharing USB 2.0 port, performance limited by 10/100 Ethernet ports
