Netgear uses the broadcom bcm4323 chip, which by my search, seems not really Linux friendly, so I just focused on the Edimax one. Edimax didn’t provide a driver for kernel higher than 4.4, but they do provide a solution for the same chipset, rtl8814au.
Note: I did this for a friend's Dell Studio 1435 Laptop, while installing the latest LinuxMint 17 Qiana Mate Edition. This should work on Ubuntu / LinuxMint for any machine which has a Broadcom BCM4312 wifi (802.11b/g) adapter.
- Brand:Broadcom, Product:Network, Model: BCM430A, Driver: 7.35.308.0, OS: Windows 10 32/64bit. Broadcom BCM43xx Wireless LAN Driver 7.35.308.0 WHQL Windows 10 32/64bit was collected from Broadcom official site for Broadcom Network. In order to ensure the right driver download, Official driver links from Broadcom are listed at first.
- Broadcom brcmfmac driver. Support for both 32 and 64 bit Linux kernels; Firmware installation. For SDIO driver you need to copy the nvram for your system and place it in /lib/firmware/brcm. The nvram file name depends on the chip you have. The kernel log will tell you the exact file name.
- There are multiple drivers supporting Broadcom wireless LAN chips. Linux kernel drivers: b43 (supported devices) Introduced in Linux 2.6.24. Supports BCM4321 and BCM4322 as of Linux 2.6.38. B43legacy (supported devices) For 802.11b-only devices and the BCM4306 revision 2. Introduced in Linux 2.6.24. Brcmsmac (supported devices).
Bcm4323 Linux Driver Updater
You can make sure that you have the correct device mentioned here, by typing in the following command in the Terminal:
It should show something like this:
Download muse cc. Ecler nuo 2.0 mixer. If this has been confirmed, you can proceed with the following:
Solution:
Run the following commands in Terminal:
Aqworlds ac generator roblox. Now reboot your system, and there you should see your WiFi working fine!

HOW-TO install the Broadcom bcm43xx Driver in Debian Linux and enable WPA Encryption
this HOW-TO was made using Debian etch with kernel 2.6.18-4-686
My network card is a Belkin Wireless G Plus
Part Number F5D7011 ver. 2000
Wireless Access Point: Linksys WRT54GL
You may want to ensure you have the wireless tools and wpa security tools installed before you begin
Go to http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ and download the bcm43xx-fwcutter tool
bcm43xx-fwcutter-006.tar.bz2
Extract the Source
In order to have everything in one place I copied the Driver folder from the CD that came with my wireless card to the Laptop.
so my directory structure now looks like this
Change into the directory the source was extracted to
Compile the bcm43xx-fwcutter tool
At this point you may issue the list command for the bcm43xx-fwcutter tool ( bcm43xx-fwcutter -l ) to see what file in the driver I was looking for.
According to the list command and the files I have in the Driver directory the file I want is called bcmwl5.sys
You should now use the Firmware Cutter tool to extract the wireless card firmware from the windows driver
you will need to be root in order to install the firmware into the directory it belong in
the firmware should now be located in /lib/firmware
At this point you need to ensure the Wireless card is listed in your /etc/network/interfaces file
eth1 is my Wired network interface
eth2 is the Wireless network interface
check to ensure the Module for your wireless card is loaded
if the module isn't loaded load it now
At this point you can check if the network card can see your Wireless access point. your access point should be configured without security at this point for testing.
If the Wireless card can see your access point you are in good shape at this point
Bring up the interface to see if you can connect and get an IP address.
From the response it shows the card came up and was able to get an IP address from the Wireless Access Point successfully
WPA ENCRYPTION CONFIGURATION
Configure your Access Point so that it uses encryption: WPA with Pre-Shared Key authentication (also called WPA-Personal) and AES encryption .
Make note of your SSID in the Basic Wireless Settings.
For the Wireless Security, I made up a secret key (64 characters 1-9, a-f), but you should use 32 bytes of secret that are really random.
One method to generate the secret on Linux is: dd if=/dev/random bs=32 count=1 2>/dev/null | od -An -tx1 then remove all spaces and newlines..
Make sure 'Wireless SSID Broadcast' is set to 'Enable', because that will be required later.
Disabling the SSID broadcast or filtering on MAC addresses only provide weak bandwidth/privacy protection anyway, and you are setting up the stronger WPA encryption which guarantees that only somebody who knows the secret can interact with your Access Point.
Configuration of WPA
wpa_supplicant is installed by default, if not, install the package 'wpasupplicant'.
Create the file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and insert the following:
Make this file readable only for root
Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add the lines for the wireless and WPA encryption
Test the WPA configuration by restarting the wireless interface
Verrify the connection is up and encryption is enabled
The SSID Mathches my configuration
Encryptionh Key is ON
WPA is enabled
You are DONE !! |
