Re: Broadcom wifi driver
You dont need broadcom drivers as your wireless is Intel. What kernel do you have?
Code: Select all
uname -a
Re: Broadcom wifi driver
Should use the kernel backports for this and this will only affect wireless modules
Reboot and it should function
Code: Select all
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v4.4.2/backports-4.4.2-1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf backports-4.4.2-1.tar.gz
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic
cd backports-4.4.2-1
make defconfig-iwlwifi
make
sudo make install
cd /lib/firmware
sudo wget http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/iwlwifi-7265D-21.ucode
