Note : I am trying to install this from a Kali Linux usb live
Objective : Get wireless working
Problem : Network Controller [0280] Broadcom bcm4360 14e4:43a0 (rev 03) 106b:0117
I understand this chipset is quite the exception to the rule and have seen a few frustrated people over this including me.
On this site, it shows that this chip is not supported but hey, I can only keep trying :
http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.ne...s/Drivers/b43/
PCI-ID : 14e4:43a0
Supported? : no
Chip ID : BCM4360
Modes : a/b/g/n/ac
PHY version : AC?
Alternative : wl
As I am narrowing down to a possible solution ( if any ), tried installing a few bcmwl-kernel-source including :
bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb
bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb
All three resulted in :
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of bcmwl-kernel-source:
bcmwl-kernel-source depends on dkms; however:
Package dkms is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package bcmwl-kernel-source ( --install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
bcmwl-kernel-source
lspci -vnn -d 14e4 shows :
02.00.0 as the HD camera
03.00.0 as Network Controller [0280]: Broadcom bcm4360 14e4:43a0 (rev 03)
Subsystem: [106b:0117]
Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
Kernel Modules: bcma
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
