#BROADCOM DRIVERS LINUX MINT 18 INSTALL DRIVER#
It is very important that you are connected to your router with an ethernet cable so that you can download the driver and it will activate it once it is downloaded and you will be able to use your wireless. Then when it comes up click on your wireless driver which I am assuming it is the Broadcom STA wireless driver.Ĭlick on it and on the bottom right of the box there will be a button that says activate. It will say searching for hardware drivers. Then let that run then when connected with an ethernet cable to your router go to Possible this, It should work regardless of the distribution.

The long manual configurations are no longer needed. With the introduction of systemd,more info can be found here.All you need to is find the Windows wireless driver. Update: wlan0 is no longer valid and has been superseded by wlp where x = pci bus number and n = slot, e.g. wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -cyour_wifi_wpa_nf.setup interface file for wlan0, netmask, gateww.I connect to my mobile Wi-Fi using wpa_supplicant. Look up your device and follow the correct guide for your card/device.Īs a side note, I found the whole process cumbersome (mint 17 to 19). You should get the correct module wl, seen as brcml-0 in rfkill list.Ī better guide to the process (so I do not repeat others' work) is found at
Your model cannot be solved by b43-cutter, nor by the broadcomm-sta code.īy installing and building the source above, My suggestion is to install brcmwl-kernel-source. In my case 4365 is the product id, as you indicate you've tried the suggestions (as did I) in your OP. (Note 14e4 is Broadcom Providers signature for all their devices.) If not, please provide the above output in your question.īoth should return with something like this.
These will at least tell you that the driver exists in your system, I'm not sure if this helps, but with Mx Linux, I was able to get WiFi working during the live session (same idea-loading Broadcom drivers), and when I booted into the fresh install, the drivers were already there (didn't have to change them again). How can I diagnose what's preventing the drivers from loading? I must be encountering a bug, because mounting the installation media and clicking OK doesn't do anything, even though it's clearly intended to solve this issue. However, when I boot into the fresh install, trying the same thing doesn't work, because the driver manager asks for a network connection OR the Mint installation media (which must have the drivers otherwise, how did I get WiFi access during the live session?). Here's the scenario: I boot into the live image, and when I go into Driver Manager, I can enable Broadcom support and get WiFi access during the live session. I've already read the answers here, which all require network access of some kind.
I'd like to install Linux Mint (Xfce) with Broadcom support, when I don't have network access after a fresh Mint install.
