Linux mint broadcom wifi driver

Linux mint broadcom wifi driver

After installing Linux Mint 12 on my Compaq Presario CQ40-410AU (x64 bit) laptop, the wireless LAN Broadcom BCM4312 802.11/bg doesn’t work out of the box.

Solution:

I found this site, linuxwireless.org, very helpful in solving this problem.

b43 and b43legacy are drivers for the 802.11 B/G/N family of wireless chips that Broadcom produces. The choice of which driver your card uses depends on the revision level of the 802.11 core. If your card is a BCM4306 Rev 2 or only has 802.11b capability, it uses b43legacy. All other models use b43. This number is read by the driver ssb, and the correct choice for your device is made at that point. The drivers are called bcm43xx in mainline kernels, and b43 and b43legacy in wireless-2.6 and 2.6.24 and later.

Driver Installation:

1. Open the Terminal window (this is similar to M$ Windows command prompt)

Note: You can access the Terminal application from Menu —> Accessories —> Terminal. Optionally, you can use the shortcut by pressing ALT+F2, type gnome-terminal then press the enter key to launch it.

2. Execute the following command from Terminal window to find out whether your PCI device is supported by the b43 and b43legacy drivers.

Terminal Command:

Result Sample: My Device

09:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [ 14e4:4315 ] (rev 01)

3. Check the result and compare the PCI-ID (highlighted above) of your WLAN device with the driver support table posted on linuxwireless.org.

4. Once you have confirmed that your WLAN device is supported, you may proceed to installing the driver by running the following command from Terminal window.

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer 

Additional Note:

In my case, this command raised the following error.

«An unsupported BCM4312 Low-Power (LP-PHY) device was found.»

I was able to fix this by installing the appropriate LP-PHY driver.

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer

Так и думал что Kali , кстати inxi -Nni это одна команда. Поставь тэг Kali и посмотри темы внизу страницы , там уже вагон их. А еще лучше действительно поставь LinuxMint и все у тебя заработает.

В каком смысле поставить linux mint?Она и так у меня стоит но в sources.list репы от кали а в /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list вообще нет файла с репозиториями.

но в sources.list репы от кали

Не смешивай системы, сломаешь всё.

Так что делать то?Я ничего не писал в файле так изначально было,как исправить репозитории

Linux mint broadcom wifi driver

This tutorial is applicable to LinuxMint Debian Edition for it doesn’t come with the Hardware Driver option ( System->Administration->Hardware Drivers ) found in Ubuntu and LinuxMint. Installing LMDE will not automatically install the driver for you so you have to manually do it from the Terminal.

You are required to connect to the Internet with the LAN interface before proceeding.

1.) After successfully installing LMDE, you have to update it first prior to installing the driver.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

2.) After a successfull update, we can now install the desired driver for our Broadcom wireless card:

sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer

All you have to do is wait for the installation to finish and you will be able to use the Broadcom wifi card.

Here’s an update if you’re trying to install the driver on a netbook with low-power b43 chipset:

sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer

Updating my LMDE with the latest kernel had my broadcom wireless messed up. In order to have my connection back, I had to use a different set of commands.

sudo -i
apt-get install module-assistant wireless-tools broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source
m-a a-i broadcom-sta
echo «blacklist brcm80211» >>/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf
update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r)
modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcm80211
modprobe wl
iwconfig

Now, it’s working fine. You had to issue this command whenever you have to upgrade your current kernel.
