RHEL6.4 install the BroadcomBCM4313 wireless NIC Driver

After countless nights of struggle, I finally asked linux beginners to use wireless network cards in their laptops to access the Internet! Operating System: RHEL6.41. Do not trust the so-called tutorials on the Internet (like, I am sharing the tutorials). 2. Trust the official readme !!! Don't talk nonsense, start implementation: It is recommended that the entire process to switch to the root account, do not worry about permissions A, to Broadcom official download official driver: http://www.broadcom.com/support/8

After countless nights of struggle, I finally asked linux beginners to use wireless network cards in their laptops to access the Internet!

Operating System: RHEL6.4

1. Do not trust the so-called tutorials on the Internet (it seems that I am also sharing the tutorials and laughing)

2. Believe in the official readme !!!

Start implementation without talking nonsense:

We recommend that you switch the entire process to the root account without worrying about permissions.

1. Download the official driver from Broadcom: Http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

Select the 32-bit or 64-bit version, and then download the lowest README! (Of course, I learned the method from here. You just need to look at my method)

2. Check whether gcc and kernel-devel are installed:

Rpm-qa | grep gccrpm-qa | grep kernel-devel

If it is not installed, install it.

Yum install gccyum install kernel-devel

No yum repository? Download the rpm package or find the installation in the system disk.

3. decompress the NIC DriverHybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_112.tar.gz

Tar zxvf hybrid-portsrc_x86-32_v5.60.246.6.tar.gz-C hybrid

Then cd hybrid

IV,This step is the most critical and most likely to report an error. This is my case. Unlike most tutorials on the Internet, the version 6.4 may be too new.

Enter make and press enter to see if any error is reported. If no, congratulations. skip this step and go to the fifth part. You are lucky.

If an error is reported, congratulations, just like me:

[Root @ RHEL6 www.linuxidc.com] make clean

[Root @ RHEL6 www.linuxidc.com] make APT = WEXT

Then, wl. ko is displayed under ls, which solves the error report.

5. Follow the online tutorial:

[Root @ RHEL6 www.linuxidc.com] cp wl. ko/lib/modules/2.6.32-358. el6.x86 _ 64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

[Root @ RHEL6 www.linuxidc.com] # modprobe lib80211

[Root @ RHEL6 www.linuxidc.com] # insmod/lib/modules/2.6.32-358. el6.x86 _ 64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl. ko

6. View and activate the wireless network card　

[Root @ RHEL6 ~] # Iwconfig (check whether the wireless network card is installed. eth1 is used here)

Lo no wireless extensions.

Eth0 no wireless extensions.

Eth1 xxxx ---- countless lines are omitted here

[Root @ RHEL6 ~] # Ifconfig eth1 up

The remaining network configurations are not nonsense. wireless signals should be able to be searched!
