So we started the installation of ubuntu wireless drivers. At first, it was always very painful. all kinds of attempts were actually just a little bit worse. However, a little difference is a little bit, and the results are different. Let's start by summing up the experience. 1. First, you must know the model of your wireless network card. I checked it with the driver genie in windows, the following hardware name is BCM43227 802.11n Wireless network Adapter MAC address 60-D8-19-12-E4-9B Max bandwidth 65 Mbps II. Then, find the correct linux Wireless driver on the Internet. Find the network card's official website, this is how to confirm how to choose the driver English: http://zh-cn.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/determine_driver.php and then, download to chant. 3. install the driver. alas, do not miss any steps. I can't take a long time for this reason. In fact, when downloading the driver, there is also a readme file that can be downloaded, which makes the installation process quite clear. I simply put my own steps are. 1. first, extract the package. the command is as follows: # mkdir hybrid_wl # cd hybrid_wl # tar xzf /Hybrid-portsrc.tar or /Hybrid-portsrc-x86_64.tar.gz 2, and then clean and re-compile # make clean # make 3, so there will be a file called wl. ko generated in the hybrid_wl directory. Okay, copy it to/lib/modules/ Before the/kernel/net/wireless directory is located, it is safer to clean the kernel # rmmod wl # mv /Wl. ko /Wl. ko. orig # cp wl. ko /Wl. ko 4, and then there are two key steps, one step should not be less Ah # depmod # modprobe wl 5, oh, so the driver is loaded successfully. 4. configure the wireless network. I am used to the interface. You only need to set the following items: ssid: my wireless wifi name mac address: the physical address of my wireless network card, and then select in the Security tab: wap & wap2 personal and enter the password for wireless wifi. 5. You can access the Internet.
