Broadcom WLAN BCM43XG12 Latest Windows 7 64bit Drivers 12:07 PM. Paul, thanks for sp66445.exe. I will install it.

Contents. Identification The is not sufficient to determine the Broadcom chip within. The relevant driver has built-in logic to probe the actual chip, for example:. b43-phy0: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found (core revision 5) Refer to for more information. Drivers There are multiple drivers supporting Broadcom wireless LAN chips. Linux kernel drivers:.
Introduced in Linux 2.6.24. Supports BCM4321 and BCM4322 as of Linux 2.6.38. For 802.11b-only devices and the BCM4306 revision 2. Introduced in Linux 2.6.24. Introduced in Linux 2.6.37, included in Debian Linux 2.6.32 kernel images. Supports BCM4313, BCM43224 and BCM43225.
Introduced in Linux 2.6.25. Supports BCM4320 USB devices. Supports BCM43602. Non-free vendor driver, not in mainline Linux kernels. bcm43xx. Introduced in Linux 2.6.17.
Disabled in Debian 2.6.24 and later kernels. Removed from Linux at 2.6.26. More information on b43/b43legacy can be found on the Linux Wireless. The b43, b43legacy, brcmsmac and wl drivers do not support any USB devices.
Using Windows' binary drivers:. plus the relevant Windows NDIS driver.
This is a workaround for devices not supported by the Linux kernel, such as USB devices based on Broadcom wireless chips (other than the BCM4320). B43 and b43legacy These drivers are included as modules in Debian kernel images.
Firmware from userspace is required for device operation. Firmware is not packaged by the Debian Project. It must be downloaded and extracted, which can be performed by the, or packages during their installation. An Internet connection is required.
Add a 'contrib' component to your existing repository line in /etc/apt/sources.list; for example: # Debian 9 'stretch' deb stretch main contrib non-free. (Note: do not add a new line. Just add ' contrib non-free' to the end of your existing line.). Update the list of available packages: apt-get update.
Install the appropriate firmware installer package: For devices with a BCM4306 revision 3, BCM4311, BCM4318, BCM4321 or BCM4322 chip, install: apt-get install firmware-b43-installer For devices with a BCM4312 LP-PHY chip (PCI ID 14E4:4315), install: apt-get install firmware-b43-installer For devices with a BCM4301 chip or the BCM4306 revision 2 chip, install: apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer A PCI ID check will be performed. When satisfied, the relevant Broadcom proprietary driver will be acquired, the firmware within will be extracted and installed. If not already performed, connect the device to your system. The necessary kernel module is for supported devices. your wireless interface as appropriate.
Troubleshooting. Examine the kernel ring buffer to verify the required firmware files are being loaded by the driver. Lack of firmware is the usual reason for the 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory' error message.
Run dpkg-reconfigure firmware-b43-installer, dpkg-reconfigure firmware-b43legacy-installer or dpkg-reconfigure firmware-b43-lpphy-installer (as relevant) to fetch and extract firmware again. If necessary, firmware can be manually acquired and extracted using the b43-fwcutter utility, see. The package will need to be installed. Debian 6.0 'Squeeze' users: prior to Linux 3.0, DMA errors may occur on some systems with LP-PHY devices. To workaround: modprobe -r b43 echo options b43 pio=1 qos=0 /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf modprobe b43.
with the b43 driver are documented on its homepage. NDISwrapper This should only be used as a last resort, if the device is not supported by Linux kernel drivers (e.g. Broadcom USB devices, other than the BCM4320). Blacklist Linux kernel drivers If loaded, the b43/b43legacy drivers will conflict with NDISwrapper. To unload and: modprobe -r b43 b43legacy echo -e blacklist b43 nblacklist b43legacy /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf Installation Kernel module and NDIS driver installation is described on the page.
Supported Devices b43 The page explains how to identify a PCI device. b43legacy The page explains how to identify a PCI device. See Also. Broadcom BCM4313, BCM43224, BCM43225 devices. Broadcom BCM4320 devices. (vendor driver) External Links. b43, b43legacy homepage;.

Whether you have owned a Broadcom wireless card or not, you must have heard of people hating them due to their poor compatibility with most Linux distributions. Fedora in this regard is the most problematic when it comes to these drivers but for good reason. Fedora has strict rules when it comes to proprietary software in their repositories which is appreciated by the free-software community. Unfortunately, the Broadcom WiFi drivers are proprietary and require the installation of the non-free rpmfusion repository.
I have tested this on the Broadcom BCM43228 and it works flawlessly. Prerequisites Either go to and read the instructions for enabling the repository or open up a terminal and enter the following: sudo dnf install -E%fedora).noarch.rpm -E%fedora).noarch.rpm Once the repositories are added, run sudo dnf update in your terminal. Installation Copy and paste the commands after each one has finished. It isn’t recommended that you combine the packages together on one line as the order of packages installed may result in failure with the driver installation. sudo dnf install -y 'kernel-devel-uname-r $(uname -r)'.
