No wifi on Macbook Pro?

[Zukaro]

I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Macbook Pro 13-inch (late 2011). How do I get the wireless working? It says "Missing firmware" under what I'd normally click to use the wifi. Also, are there any other drivers I'll need to download? So far it looks as if everything is working fine (other than my wifi).

I'm not sure which drivers to download or where to download them from; could someone help? I've looked around on Google for awhile and haven't found anything.

Can you open a terminal and type in

lspci | Network

and paste the output back here? Probably Broadcom, but not sure which.

I used the following steps to get it working on my MBP:

There is no official support yet in Ubuntu 11.10, but you can get it working with the following repository:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mpodroid/mactel
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
Then install the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic or, if you have the pae kernel installed, the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic-pae package.

Edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add the line:


blacklist ndiswrapper
Create or edit the file /etc/pm/config.d/modules and make sure the wireless modules (b43 and bcma) are blacklisted:


SUSPEND_MODULES="b43 bcma"
Reboot and the wireless should work.

This is what comes up under network after doing the lspci command.

03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02)

Does anyone know where I could get the drivers for this?

Plug your computer into your router with ethernet
Go into the Ubuntu dash and look up Drivers
click on "Additional drivers" let it load
Select the one that says broadcom and on it and install

When I go to additional drivers after it loads it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." (and I am connected to the Internet through Ethernet).

Have you tried:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mpodroid/mactel
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer

and after that reboot your MacBook Pro.

?

I have 13-inch 8.1 MacBook Pro with the same WiFi card as yours and this steps helped.

I just found this guide and followed it. Everything is working fine now.
