BCM4321 Not Working

TskTskUgh

Running a Penryn-based 2008 Core 2 Duo iMac. It has Broadcom 4321 driver. Unfortunately, it is not functional.

Tried this advice: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/23-getting-broadcom-wireless-cards-to-work
Also this: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/23-getting-broadcom-wireless-cards-to-work/9

Neither worked for me. How can I get the Internet up and running on my Solus iMac?

Have you installed the hardware drivers in DoFlicky (Hardware drivers)?
If yes, try to uninstall it and restart.

Ive been running solus on a Macbook pro for several years, only using the driver for Macs called
brcmfmac. Its used by default if you dont install anything else.

Try it out and get back to us.

henkesteen I uninstalled the one in Hardware Drivers then restarted. No Wi-Fi at all. Currently connecting through a dongle.

Ah darn!
What does it say about the Wifi card if you run lspci -v?

For me it says Kernel driver in use: brcmfmac

Just for your information, Im on another wifi card:
Apple Inc. BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC

There is no kernel driver listed directly under the Wi-Fi card. However, there is one listed under Ethernet.

Results of sudo lspci -v:
