View Full Version : Broadcom Corporation BCM43227 802.11b/g/n
still having issues with the broadcom 43227 drivers. I followed the debian wiki and installed the broadcom sta common drivers and it still does not come up I have walked through the wiki and it seems that it does not show up running. I checked in the ifconfig and the iwconfig still no luck.

I got the Problems too i just tried and tried a few hours everything i found on google it just doesnt seem to load the drivers i installed the recommended drivers from broadcom "broadcom-sta" installed but not loading them.
Im not experienced in driver stuff on linux i think it works like that: with modprobe you put the drivers into a pool and on startup it searches the pool and takes the drivers that suit best if it doesnt than please tell me shortly how it goes.
i also tried ndiswrapper looks like it should i think
~# ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl6 : driver installed
device (14E4:4358) present (alternate driver: bcma)
my Setup:
Acer Aspire 5750G
Kali Linux latest installed on usb(like on harddrive not live)
Broadcom Corporation BCM43227 802.11b/g/n
If you need any more informations just tell me i will add them.

Please, be more specific as to what you did. Post procedure and post lspci | grep -i network, lspci -v and lsmod | grep -i wl.
Post also the ifconfig -a and iwconkfig.
