CentOS5.4安装BCM4312无线网卡驱动

本人历经半个月终于配置成功linux下的Broadcom 4312无线网卡驱动,从中体会到了配置Linux无线网卡的不易之处,下面我把这段时间得到的经验分享给大家,希望能给大家一些



帮助。



本人使用的机器是DELL Latitude D630笔记本电脑,安装的是CentOS 5.4版本的操作系统,内核版本是2.6.18.164,无线网卡是Broadcom(BCM) 4312


Linux安装无线网卡一般分为三种方法:


第一种:编译内核


第二种:使用linux工具软件ndiswrapper,该软件的作用就是在Linux下把windows下的驱动模拟起来使用。


第三种:就是自己写喽。(谁都不希望是这种情况)


本人使用的方法是使用Linux工具软件ndiswrapper安装Broadcom(BCM) 4312无线网卡驱动。


说心里话,本人真应该好好感谢ndiswrapper工具软件,如果没有它偶很可能要去编译内核了。


一种称为ndiswrapper的程序能够允许Linux内核模块加载到某些无线卡的Windows驱动上。这就使得手提在Linux中使用无线卡,即使没有原始的Linux驱动。


ndiswapper官方网站:

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

提取驱动组件,这个是前提!下载了windows下的无线驱动之后,就需要提取和你的无线网络硬件相关的.sys和.inf文件了,这些就是NdisWrapper所需要的所有东西了,剩下的文



件就可以丢弃了。




[root@localhost ~]# lspci | grep Broadcom


09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)


0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)



#第一行Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express是我的物理有线网卡;第二行Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g是我的无线网卡


#以上是要找出是否有不匹配的无线网卡在加载。


#即使有无线网卡驱动已经被加载了,但是不匹配的话,就等于没有!


#这可是关键的问题哦,如果忽略了这个问题,做了N多次的也没有用。



将自带的无效驱动列入黑名单,免得启动时加载。


[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist


blacklist bcm4312


#编辑 blacklist文件,将bcm4312驱动列入黑名单。


#编辑完文件保存退出



下载ndiswrapper


请打开这个网址:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndis...��载地址:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net

... wrapper-1.56.tar.gz)。



安装ndiswrapper


[root@localhost ~]#tar zxvf ndiswrapper-1.56.tar.gz


[root@localhost ~]#cd ndiswrapper


[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.56]#make


[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.56]#make install


按照这样的步骤ndiswrapper工具软件包就安装成功了(这个应该没有什么太大的问题吧)。


这就安装了ndiswrapper工具和不同于当前运行的内核的内核模块。你必须拥有有效的内核源代码。(对大部分RPM,只需安装“内核-源”软件包。


接着,你需要找到卡的Windows驱动的副本,该副本是从已经存在的Windows系统(如果是双重导入的)找到的或是下载下来的驱动,都是没有关系的。SourgeForge.net网站列出了



可支持的卡,并且提供链接供大家下载Windows驱动。



[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.56]# ndiswrapper -h //使用ndiswrapper -h命令可以查看ndiswrapper命令参数的用法


install/manage Windows drivers for ndiswrapper



usage: ndiswrapper OPTION


-i inffile install driver described by 'inffile'


-a devid driver use installed 'driver' for 'devid' (dangerous)


-r driver remove 'driver'


-l list installed drivers


-m write configuration for modprobe


-ma write module alias configuration for all devices


-mi write module install configuration for all devices


-v report version information



where 'devid' is either PCIID or USBID of the form XXXX:XXXX,


as reported by 'lspci -n' or 'lsusb' for the card



[root@localhost DRIVER]# ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf //后面的windows驱动文件*.inf最好是指一个绝对路径


installing bcmwl5 ...


*注:安装windows驱动除了需要*.inf信息文件,还需要相应的*sys系统文件。另外,*.inf和*.sys文件必须要在一个目录里面。


如果没有*.sys文件,就会出现如下提示:

安装成功后系统会生成/etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5目录,并且在目录下生成相关文件。


[root@localhost DRIVER]# ls /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5/

查看ndiswrapper安装驱动是否成功


[root@localhost DRIVER]# ndiswrapper -l //查看驱动是否安装成功


bcmwl5 : driver installed


device (14E4:4315) present


注:出现以上文字,说明我的电脑里已经成功安装了bcmwl5驱动。



加载模块


ndiswrapper -m #加载模块,但是并不会在开机的时候自动加载!建议继续使用以下两个命令。



[root@localhost DRIVER]# ndiswrapper -ma


module configuration information is stored in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf


[root@localhost DRIVER]# ndiswrapper -mi


module configuration information is stored in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf


#这样的话开机就会自动加载了!


[root@localhost DRIVER]# modprobe ndiswrapper



安装成功无线网卡驱动之后,就可以使用NetworkManager来管理了。


在说个事NetworkManager之前请确认wireless_tool软件工具包是否安装,如果没有安装wireless软件工具包NetworkManager也不会好用的。


[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep wireless-tool


wireless-tools-28-2.el5



目前NetworkManager的最新版本是0.8,可以到这里下载NetworkManager原码包:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sourc...��可以在系

统安装光盘里面找到。


[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep NetworkManager //查看是否安装NetworkManager软件包


NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-9.el5


NetworkManager-0.7.0-9.el5


NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-9.el5


注:如果出现以上三个软件包说明NetworkManager已经安装了。


如果没有安装NetworkManager,请安装NetworkManager软件包。


NetworkManager的rpm包安装方法:


[root@localhost ~]#rpm -ivh NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-9.el5


[root@localhost ~]#rpm -ivh NetworkManager-0.7.0-9.el5


[root@localhost ~]#rpm -ivh NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-9.el5


或者


[root@localhost ~]# yum -y install NetworkManager NetworkManager-gnome



NetworkManager的原码包安装方法:


[root@localhost ~]tar zxvf NetworkManager-0.8.tar.gz


[root@localhost ~]cd NetworkManager-0.8


[root@localhost NetworkManager-0.8]make


[root@localhost NetworkManager-0.8]make install



NetworkManager安装完以后把它设置为开机自动启动。


[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig --level 5 NetworkManager



重新启动计算机


[root@localhost ~]#reboot



重新启动计算机后会发现在屏幕的右上角会出现一个无线网卡图标,右键点击“启用无线”,然后再左键选择一个无线资源上网即可。
