I have written an article titled ubuntu10.10-2.6.35 kernel + BCM4353 wireless driver installation notes.

In this case, dell studio 1458 was removed from the system to solve the heat dissipation problem. The effect was good. The latest BT5.

I am under the official BT5-KDE, installed when the image burned to the U disk boot problem, subsequently have time to write a note out.

After installing the system, I found that my latest Nic could not be identified. I took the note above. the compilation process encountered the following error:

 

CC [M]/Desktop/driver/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o www.2cto.com

/Desktop/driver/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c: 485: 3: error: implicit declaration of function 'init _ MUTEX'

Make [2]: *** [/Desktop/driver/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o] Error 1

Make [1]: *** [_ module _/Desktop/driver/broadcom] Error 2

Make [1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.6.37'

Make: *** [all] Error 2

 

After checking this function, we found that the kernel in 2.6.37 + needs to be changed to another function, that is, replacing init_MUTEX with sema_init.

In the driver Directory, find the file/Desktop/driver/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c, which is output in line 485 and will:

Init_MUTEX (& wl-> sem );

Modify:

Sema_init (& wl-> sem, 1 );

Then make again and find OK. Generate the kernel file wl. ko, copy the above file to the kernel location, load the file, and restart the system.

Wicd was successfully found. Some friends may also encounter this, huh, huh...

(For details, refer to the note above)
