    Exclamation Broadcom 4360 Driver

    I need a wifi driver for my Macbook Air, Early 2014, because the STA Linux driver that everyone seems to like is uncompatible witht the Broadcom BMC4360. Maybe I'm installing it wrong (Ubuntu 14.10), but I've always installed drivers using the software center with no problems. Does anyone know of a driver for my wifi card?

    There is a fix, but there are a couple commands that need to be changed to match your kernel, so please post the terminal results from
    Code:
    ls /lib/modules
    If chili or someone else with 14.10 is watching, he might know the current kernel used with 14.10 and know how to modify the commands in this post- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...2#post12989252

    If the kernel is 3.16.0-25 then this post should help

    How so? The doctor wants to know your symptoms.
    Code:
    sudo dpkg -s bcmwl-kernel-source
    lspci -nn -d 14e4:
    dmesg | grep wl
    Thanks.
