Bind the BCM4313 wireless NIC Driver in Fedora

I used Ubuntu and ArchLinux without having any problems with wireless connectivity. After changing Fedora, lspci can find the wireless Nic, but no driver is loaded. I had no choice but to search the Internet. After a long time, I finally got it ready. For more information, see the appendix. 1. download the relevant file http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php to download the source code and patch package, and follow the instructions in the patch to proceed with the operation. Patch pack is for 2.6.37 or above

1. Download Related Files

Http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php download the source code and patch package, and follow the instructions in the patch. The patch package is for versions 2.6.37 and later. If no patch is used, an error will be reported during compilation.

PS: The patch uses a patch command. If the corresponding program is not installed on the machine, the patch command cannot be used. Pay attention to this.

2. Compile

Make in the source code package. If it succeeds, generate the wl. ko file we need and copy it to the corresponding directory:

Sudo cp wl. ko/lib/modules/$ (uname-r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

3. Load

Check whether the b43, ssb, and wl modules related to Broadcom are loaded. If yes, uninstall them first. Next, load lib80211 and wl. If wl is directly loaded without lib80211 loaded, an error is returned.

OK!
