Installation

Firmware

WiFi

The Linux firmware package is needed since the Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN wifi adapter requires a specific firmware file.

Firmware file that is needed is the iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode. It can be obtained by installing the Linux firmware package: sys-firmware/iwl6005-ucode. For more info see iwlwifi.

Note
In case you can see error messages saying the kernel isn't able to find the iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode. Check content of /lib/firmware/.

Bluetooth

root #dmesg
bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd failed with error -2

Thus a Linux firmware file BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd is needed. The file can be obtained from a driver package via:

user $unzip Bluetooth_V1201650_WHQL_Win10.zip
root #hex2hcd Bluetooth/BCM_DriverOnly/64/BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1483.1669.hex -o /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd
