Operating system installed on centos6 64-bit liveos

1. Confirm hardware information

1.1 first, check that the system contains the appropriate tools, packages, header files, and library files required to establish a standard kernel module.
　　
Without such materials, compilation will fail.
　　
1.2 confirm the chip model of the wireless network card and install the relevant dependent files.

2. Prepare the environment

2.1 driver package preparation

Http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

Note that you need to select the relevant package for your own operating system type. I have a 64-bit system, so

Http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz

2. Prepare the compiling environment

[David @ localhost ~] $ Sudo Yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc

[David @ localhost ~] $ Mkdir TMP

[David @ localhost ~] $ MV hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz.

[David @ localhost ~] $ Tar zxvf hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz

2.3 compile and install

[David @ localhost ~] $ Sudo make & make install

If the following error occurs during installation

Make: ***/lib/modules/2.6.32-71. el6.x86 _ 64/Build: no such file or directory. Stop.

Go to the relevant directory and check that this file is a soft link with a red dot. This indicates that the link is not successful. Use the command to link it again.

[David @ localhost ~] $ CD/lib/modules/'uname-R'

[David @ localhost ~] $ Sudo ln-s.../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86 _ 64/build

Then re-execute the installation

Iii. Load driver

[David @ localhost ~] $ Sudo depmod-

[David @ localhost ~] $ Sudo modprobe WL

Iv. Cleanup

[David @ localhost ~] $ Rm tmp-RF
