ubuntu 下安裝 Broadcom wifi driver.

Posted by on 2010/07/19 No comments

Linux 下 Broadcom 的 Wifi Driver 可以在 802.11 Linux STA driver 下載到.

不過在 ubuntu 下, 其實這個工作更容易
[BASH]
# sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
[/BASH]
然後就會下載並且編好 Broadcom Wifi Driver.
會放在 /lib/modules/[kernelversion]/updates/dkms 下
以我的為例, 就會放在
[BASH]
# cd /lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic-pae/updates/dkms
# ls -lF
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 10812004 2010-07-01 10:16 nvidia-current.ko
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 2138420 2010-07-16 11:55 wl.ko
[/BASH]

wl.ko 就是 Broadcom wifi 的 module 了, 接下來就是像一般 Wifi 的用法了.

不過這是 STA. 如果是 AP 的話一般人大概是拿不到的.
個人測試過 43225 w/o EEPROM 是沒有問題的.
