    Broadcom wifi/BT actibation

    Hello,

    I'm a brand new user og Kali (I have a little experience on ubuntu). I had to switch from intel/BT wireless MB integraded device to a Fenvi T-919 FW/BT PCI card for MacOS compatibility (I'm running a Hackintosh Ventura with quad boot macOS/Win11/Ubuntu 22.04.1/ Kali 2022.4).

    Here is the lspci terminal output :

    Code:
    
    lspci-vnn|grep-i net 
    08:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I226-V [8086:125c] (rev 06) 
            Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Ethernet Controller I226-V [1043:8867] 
    09:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03) 
            Subsystem: Apple Inc. BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [106b:0111]
    
    So it is a Broadcom BCM4360 device [14e4:43a0] vendor/product device. I've read that there is a driver for this device. But how do I install it ? I prefere to ask to be sure before breaking everything !

    Thanks !

    Broadcom need firmware loaded, and drivers loaded as a kernel extension..

    sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
