[SOLVED] broadcom BCM4313 driver issue
I am hoping to help everyone with the solution to the problem i had. I have a HPmini with the Broadcom 4313 wireless card. NOTE* This did not work on live USB for me...I just did the full install.
if you are having driver issues and are a noob like me.. il explain it they way i understood
go to this site and download the driver
http://
their is a read me file.... dont worry about it unless what i tell you dosnt work... I am just re-explaining the process in a simpler way.
after you download that file place it on the documents folder of your user.
go to Applications>
type in "mkdir hybrid_wl"
then "cd hybrid_wl"
Minimize the terminal and copy the downloaded file into that folder (just makes things easier)
then go back in terminal and type
tar xzf hybrid-
.....YOU WILL SEE NO OUTPUT
THEN JUST TYPE
make
...
then type these commands
rmmod wl
cp wl.ko /lib/modules/
# depmod
# modprobe wl
NOTE!!!
after you get that type
iwconfig
you should get wireless device in their
check everything, and it may need a reboot...
i hope that simplifies it for people.. it would have helped me... so.. i whote the dummy version.. if i can understand it, anyone can
