linux下安装无线网卡驱动(Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA driver)

linux下安装无线网卡驱动(Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA driver)

ubuntu系统的首先需要执行以下两条命令

# apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic

# apt-get build-dep linux

确保是否存在该目录

# ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

wget驱动包并进入相应的驱动目录
# wget http://zh-tw.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz

# tar -zxvf hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz

# cd hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38

# make

KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic'

  LD      /data/software/built-in.o

  CC [M]  /data/software/src/shared/linux_osl.o

  CC [M]  /data/software/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o

/data/software/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c: In function ‘wl_attach’:

/data/software/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:485:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘init_MUTEX’

make[2]: *** [/data/software/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [_module_/data/software] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic'

make: *** [all] Error 2

如果你的内核版本大于2.6.37，那么恭喜你，编译时会报上述错误，此时，只需打一个补丁即可！
# uname -r

wget补丁到驱动目录(lib、Makefile、src)

# wget http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/5_100_82_38.patch

# patch -p0 < 5_100_82_38.patch 

然后再执行make，执行完后会生成wl.ko等文件

# make

移除所有之前相关的驱动，没有则跳过

# lsmod  | grep "b43\|ssb\|wl"

# rmmod b43

# rmmod ssb

# rmmod wl

# echo "blacklist ssb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

# echo "blacklist b43" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

安装驱动

# modprobe lib80211 

# insmod wl.ko
