I recently installed Xubuntu on my old MacBook pro (2010 I believe). The internet has gone back on forth between working and not. Curently I can't get it to work. I've done this so far:
Network information
- The general networking guide here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370108
- The Broadcom specific guide here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2214110
- Made sure the Broadcom Corporation: BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN Controller was selected in Additional Drivers
- Downloading bcmwl-kernel-source from http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/poo...ntu3_amd64.deb, and then . This didn't work, bug report can be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...l/+bug/1811844Code:
sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb
- Running:
[CODE]
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
[/CODE]
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source
