Install the BCM4313 wireless NIC Driver in 64-bit CentOS 6.4

Install the BCM4313 wireless NIC Driver in 64-bit CentOS 6.4

1. Desktop centos6.4 _ 64 (non-minimal installation)

2. #/sbin/lspci | grep Broadcom determine whether it is a BCM wireless network card (if not, congratulations, you are intel 99%, and you do not have to install the driver with effort)

3. # yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc

4. # mkdir/usr/local/src/hybrid-wl

5. # cd/usr/local/src/hybrid-wl

6. # tar xvfz (path and name of the file you downloaded, for example, '/home/derek_s/download/'your hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_assist_centos63.tar.gz

(Ps: The downloaded driver needs to be unzip)

7. # make KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC = 1

# Make-C/lib/modules/'uname-R'/build M = 'pwd'

---- Possible error -----------------------------------------------------

Cd/lib/modules/2.6.32-358. el6.x86 _ 64/

The path of the build soft link in may be faulty.

Rm build-rf

Ln-s/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86 _ 64/./build

Ps: 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86 _ 64 is your kernel version, which can be queried in the/lib/modules directory.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

8. insmod wl. ko

Insmod: error inserting 'wl. ko ':-1 Unknown symbol in module

# Cp wl. ko/lib/modules/(your kernel version can be queried in the/lib/modules directory)/kernel/net/wireless/

9. Note: Remove all other BROADCOM wireless device drivers

# Lsmod | grep "b43 \ | ssb \ | bcma \ | wl"

If any of the following drivers exists, remove them:

# Rmmod b43

# Rmmod ssb

# Rmmod bcma

# Rmmod wl

Remove and try again

# Lsmod | grep "b43 \ | ssb \ | bcma \ | wl"

At this time, there is no display, add these conflicting drivers to the blacklist

# Echo "blacklist ssb">/etc/modprobe. d/blacklist. conf

# Echo "blacklist bcma">/etc/modprobe. d/blacklist. conf

# Echo "blacklist b43">/etc/modprobe. d/blacklist. conf

10. Add the driver

# Depmod-

# Modprobe wl

11. # lsmod | grep "b43 \ | ssb \ | bcma \ | wl"

If a new wl driver is displayed, the driver is successfully installed.

12. Write data such as startup

Echo modprobe wl>/etc/rc. local
