CentOS 6.3 with BCM4313 wireless [Solved]

1. Get your driver source code from Broadcom here.
2. Create a directory & extract the codes
     #mkdir hybrid
     #cd hybrid
     # tar xvf hybrid-portsrc-86_64.tar.gz
3. # make clean
4. It will produce wl.ko inside the directory
5. If doesn't work, try
    #make API=WEXT
    or
    # make API=CFG80211
6. Remove other broadcom drives
    # lsmod | grep "b43\|ssb\|bcma\|wl"
    # rmmod b43 ssb bcma wl
7. Blacklist the driver to prevent from loading in future
    # echo "blacklist ssb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
8. Install the driver
    # modprobe lib80211
    or
    # modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip
    or
    # modprobe cfg80211
9. Finally
    # insmod wl.ko
10. Stop your network service & restart your NetworkManager service.


Hold ON !! To make it permanent:
1. gedit /etc/modprobe.d/wl.conf and add line below
 
 install wl /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lib80211 && /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64/kernel/lib/wl.ko

(Of course you need to copy your wl.ko files to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/lib/)

2. gedit /etc/rc.local and add line below
    modprobe wl

That's it folks

I fixed the lost configuation qhen you reboot whith this code

# rmmod b43 ssb bcma wl
# echo "blacklist ssb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
# echo "blacklist b43" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
# echo "blacklist bcma" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

no for wl becase is the driver that you'll going to use
