Fedora21安装Broadcom无线网卡驱动

前两天在旧笔记本上安装了Fedora 21 workstation 32位版本,装好发现无线网卡不能使用(Fedora节操高),网上查了查,在fedora论坛找到了解决办法。

分三步:

Step 1: Identify the chipset of the wireless device

第一步:识别无线网卡型号,终端运行:lspci



我的本反馈最后一行为 10:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
即无线网卡型号为 BCM4312


Step 2: Choose the right driver

第二步:选择合适的驱动,原文给的选择表如下:(我懒的看完就选了version 4那个,然后就成功了。。

    or          version 4                                       or
  Install       firmware                                    rndis_wlan
 version 4
 firmware

Step 3: Install the driver

第三步:安装驱动

  1. Install b43-fwcutter. This is the software package that does the extraction of the firmware from the proprietary driver.安装b43-fwcutter,这个软件包是用来解压缩后面的驱动固件的。
    Code:
    su
    yum install b43-fwcutter
  2. Determine which native driver is being used by the wireless card (b43 or b43legacy). The kernel is generally good about detecting a Broadcom wireless card and loading the correct driver module for it. The following terminal command will list the loaded kernel modules in alphabetical order. Look for b43 or b43legacy.检测无线网卡使用的驱动,命令行给出的列表是按字母顺序来的,注意查找B43或B43legacy(英语一般,大致这么翻译吧。。
    Code:
    lsmod | sort
  3. Do this step only if you need to install version 4 firmware for the b43 driver module. Copy and execute the following command lines one after the other in a Fedora terminal.这是给b43驱动安装version 4固件的code,终端执行即可。
    Code:
    wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
    tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
    cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver	
    su
    b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta_mimo.o
后面还有其他版本驱动的安装说明,我没用到就不翻了,原帖有详细说明。
