# # Prerequisites

The following kernel modules is incompatible with this driver and should not being loaded:
* SSB
* BCMA
* B43
* Brcmsmac

Make sure to unload (' rmmod ' command) and blacklist those modules in order to prevent them from being automatically
Reloaded during the next system startup:

'/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf '
```
# Wireless drivers (conflict with Broadcom Hybrid wireless driver ' wl ')
Blacklist SSB
Blacklist BCMA
Blacklist b43
Blacklist Brcmsmac
```

# # Compile and install

# # Manually

Build and install for the running kernel:

"Sh
$ make
$ make Install
$ depmod-a
$ modprobe WL
```

# # automatically

Using [Dkms][2] and the included ' dkms.conf ' file, one can let the operating system rebuild and install the module
Automatically on every new kernel installation:

"Sh
$ dkms Add/path/to/this/repo
$ dkms Status
BROADCOM-WL, 6.30.223.271:added
```

Providing that the ' dkms ' service was enabled, the module should appear as *installed* in the list of modules managed by
DKMS after the system boots for the first time on the new kernel:

"Sh
$ dkms Status
BROADCOM-WL, 6.30.223.271, 4.7.6-200.x86_64, x86_64:installed
```
