eMachines M5310 notebook

  • Device Name: bcm4306 wireless card
  • Chipset: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
  • Device type: pci
  • Device id: 14e4:4320
  • Driver: http://emachines.com/support/drivers.html

You need to get to notebook M5310 LAN driver. After extracting, only use the bcmwl5.sys and the bcmwl5a.inf. There is a bcmwl5.inf which cannot be used.

Info

Installed on Ubuntu 9.10. The ssb driver was always in my way. I tried the blacklist way without success. The system works now after I added the following lines in my /etc/rc.local 

rmmod b44
rmmod b43legacy
rmmod ssb
modprobe ndiswrapper
modprobe ssb
modprobe b44
