Fedora 16无线网卡驱动安装

先上官网：www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php 下载对应版本的驱动，因为我安装的系统是64位的，我下载了：hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz

还要下载补丁,直接把下面的文件保存，名字为 this_file，注意：hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz和this_file放在同一目录下

#

# Patch for Broadcom 80211 (STA) driver 5.100.82.38

# Fixes the 'init_MUTEX' compile problem seen on newer (> 2.6.37) kernels.

# If you were able to compile, you don't need this patch.

# To apply:

# cd to the top level of the driver source. ('ls' should show at least src, lib, Makefile)

# patch -p0 < this_file

# make

下面开始安装：

1.先进入hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz和this_file所在的目录

解压文件 hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz：

Tar –zxvf hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz

2.然后打补丁

patch -p0 < this_file

3.然后再make

4.这样就会生成一个wl.ko的文件，再make install

5.之后

# cp wl.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/wireless/wl.ko

# cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/wireless/

# depmod

# modprobe wl

删除其它驱动

# lsmod | grep "b43\|ssb\|wl"显示

wl 2554168 0

lib80211 5071 1 wl

b43 282277 0

mac80211 234498 1 b43

cfg80211 135850 2 b43,mac80211

ssb 46917 1 b43

mmc_core 71680 3 b43,ssb,sdhci

# rmmod b43

# rmmod ssb

# rmmod wl

再

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

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

# modprobe lib80211

# insmod wl.ko

看看你的无线网络灯亮了没？呵呵。安装完成！
