This page aims at getting your bcm43xx chipset based wireless network card to work in Ubuntu.

<<Anchor(Top)>>
== Identifying Your Card and Which Driver to Use ==
+
This page aims at getting your Broadcom BCM43xx based wireless network card working. The proprietary drivers can be activated under the desktop menu '''System / Administration / Hardware Drivers.''' If you experience troubles activating follow the instructions on this page for your particular scenario.  
To see what chipset you have, in a terminal type `lspci`, which lists the PCI devices in your computer. One of the lines of the output might include something like the following:
+
== Broadcom BCM43xx Chipset (PCI) ==
 +
=== Identifying Your Card/Driver ===
 +
In a terminal the command `lspci` will display information about all PCI devices attached to your computer.  
 +
The following is typical input/output from `lspci` indicating that Ubuntu has found a Broadcom wireless card/chipset and listed its model as BCM4322.
 +
To display only devices manufactured by Broadcom (including wifi cards) suffix the following to `lspci`:
 
<pre><nowiki>
 
<pre><nowiki>
04:01.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
+
~$ lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
 
</nowiki></pre>
 
</nowiki></pre>
This indicates that your computer recognizes one of your pieces of hardware as a network controller based on the bcm4318 chipset. Note that this doesn't mean your card is working properly. To achieve this, you need to install drivers.
+
'''Note:''' The example output below indicates the model number to be BCM4322 (rev 01).
The newest version of drivers for bcm43xx cards are b43 and b43-legacy. They replace the old bcm43xx driver (named after the chipset), which is now deprecated. To see which driver you need to use, check the table at [http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Known_PCI_devices the LinuxWireless.org's b43 driver page]. Your PCI-ID used to identify your card should be of the form 14e4:43xx and can be obtained by noting the first entry associated with your card when doing `lspci` (in the example above, this is 04:01.0) and doing `lspci -n` which matches that number with the card's PCI-ID (continuing the example, you could also do `lspci -n | grep 04:01.0`):
+
 
<pre><nowiki>
 
<pre><nowiki>
[user@domain ~]$ lspci -n | grep 04:01.0
+
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)
04:01.0 0280: 14e4:4318 (rev 02)

== Installing Drivers for the bcm43xx Cards ==

[[UbuntuHelp:[Top|Back to top]]]
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope provides the b43 drivers, but due to copyright reasons not the proprietary firmware which is required to run your card.  
+
== Installing b43/STA hybrid drivers ==
=== With Alternate Internet Access ===
+
===== 9.10 (Karmic Koala), 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) =====
If you have some other kind of internet access on your computer, you can download the firmware automatically by simply installing the `b43-fwcutter` package which does the download and setup for you. You will probably need to restart your computer before seeing the results.
+
Supported models, mostly found on Dell hardware, include:
=== No Alternate Internet Access ===
+
BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4313, BCM4321, BCM4322, BCM43224, BCM43225
If you don't have any other means of internet access on your computer, you will have to:
+
=== Internet Access ===
<ol><li>Install `b43-fwcutter` (without the firmware downloading and being set up) which should be located on the Ubuntu 9.04 install disc (add it as a repository in Synaptic) or from `/var/cache/apt/archives` on an Ubuntu computer with b43 installed.
+
'''Step 1.'''
</li><li>Obtain</li></ol>
+
Install the b43/STA hybrid drivers/firmware from the [http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/components restricted repository] using the '''Synaptic Package Manager''' and search for the `bcmwl-kernel-source` package and install or in a terminal use the aptitude or apt-get commands:
 
+
* [http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o] and  
+
* [http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2].
+
<ol><li>Execute the following necessary commands on the files above manually</li></ol>
+
 
+
 
<pre><nowiki>
 
<pre><nowiki>
sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
+
~$ sudo aptitude update
tar xfvj broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
+
~$ sudo aptitude install bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta_mimo.o
+
 
</nowiki></pre>
 
</nowiki></pre>
Try restarting your computer to verify the installation went correctly.
+
'''Step 2.'''
If it fails to work after a restart try 'sudo modprobe b43'. Then add the line 'b43' to 'sudo gedit /etc/modules'.
+
Under the desktop menu '''System > Administration > Hardware Drivers''', the drivers can be activated for use.
== Checking if it Worked ==
+
'''Note:''' A computer restart may be required before using the wifi card.
You can see if the module is loaded by running `lsmod | grep b43` and if you have a new wireless interface by running `ifconfig`.
+
==== LiveCD/LiveUSB ====
== Alternative Solutions ==
+
For temporary use with the [[UbuntuHelp:LiveCD|LiveCD]] and LiveUSB environments, simply use the Synaptic Package Manager to search for and install the bcmwl-kernel-source  package. Refer to Step 1 and Step 2 of the instructions above.
If your drivers still don't work, you can try using the Windows drivers through [[UbuntuHelp:WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper|ndiswrapper]]. This worked for me on versions older than 9.04 but didn't work for me on 9.04 (although the method above did).
+
'''Step 3:''' Instead of a computer restart, in a terminal issue the following commands:
