Hi guys,
After switching from Linux Mint to Archlinux, my wireless card refused to show up in lspci. It DOES worked fine under Linux Mint, but .... Below is my output of 'lspci -vnn |grep Broadcom' :
10:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
My laptop is hp 6515b, with a touch panel for the toggle of wifi on/off etc. After a search in google I found the problem may be that the power of wifi has been shut down, and solution is to boot into windows and turn wifi on, because the touch panel will not work under Linux (as far as I know),
I had a similar problem with another HP laptop. I was able to switch on the wifi by pressing the wifi switch when I was in BIOS, but YMMV. Cheers, Tom
