HOWTO: Broadcom 4318 Wireless Cards

If you are using 64bit with native, may I have a copy of the drivers you used? I'd like to use native as well, that is the only way to do packet sniffing...

I'm using 32bit with ndiswrapper because its the only way I could get it working. I tried 64 with native and it didn't work, I tried 64bit with ndiswrapper and it was a no go, I tried 32bit with native and that was extremely touchy (could connect every now and then). Finally, I tried 32bit with ndiswrapper and it worked like a charm, I even use WPA-PSA. Due to my slow highspeed connection (1.5Mbps/256kbps) I see no difference using the web between wire and wireless connections (max dl speed hovers in the range of 210Kb/sec).

try following the instructions again - it would appear that something went wrong during the tar -xf bcm4318.all.tar.gz step.

Hello, I'm a complete newbie to Linux. I'm having the same problems as others with the Broadcom chipset in my Dell 1370 wireless card. I've read a lot of threads on this subject and tried a lot of things, but to no avail. I would really appreciate some insight into the problem I could be facing. The wireless light does not come on, and attempting to turn it on manually using Fn+F2 keypress does not do anything (I get 'invalid keycode' messages when I try 'dmesg').

My computer is a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.6GHz Pentium M type processor. I've installed Edgy Eft and everything is working perfectly except the wireless -- which is really important for me.

As per the instructions in the first post, I installed Ubuntu from the CD, and then proceeded directly to run the script. Here are the logs:

Thanks a lot in advance once again!

Hello!!! I'm new to the Linux seen and stumbling my way along, but not complaining. I don't mind trying to learn new things, It's just frustrating trying to make your way around new territory so...

I followed the steps and installed the gnome network manager. It shows my wired connection, but nothing about wireless. Also, when I go to the System>Admiinistration>Networking, it shows the wired and modem options, but the wireless option is no longer there. Don't know what happened with that. I also did the steps just after reinstalling the OS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

@Win2Mac2Linux: Enable the multi/universe repos, see my sig. (Add Extra Repositories)

**Win2Mac2Linux** · January 16th, 2007

I did everything that was listed. Everything appeard to go okay. (This is the second time I'm trying this. I noticed in the logs it makes reference to this being an i386 system and installed i386 drivers. I don't know if that has anything to do with this since I have PPC laptop. The card shows up with the first command used and is also present in the device manager. However, it is missing from the System>Administration>Networking option. Only the Wired Connection and modem options were available. I posted the resulting logs of the process below. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

**Augustus** · January 16th, 2007

I used this guide with my last Edgy install to get my wireless working...it was great.

However, I recently did a clean install, and now it doesn't work. I think I've narrowed it down to the reason: wireless doesn't even appear in the "system -> administration -> Networking" connections tab. It just, isn't there. I know I have the hardware, and when I run "lspci | grep Broadcom\ Corporation", I get my broadcom card, the same one that is being referred to in this tutorial. Anyone have any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help.
