How do I install BCM4312 wireless drivers? [duplicate]

I have BCM4312 wireless card too.

What I needed to do:

  1. Go to: System->Administrator->Additional Drivers(Hardware drivers)

  2. Then click to Broadcom STA wireless driver and enable it.

  3. Restart

To me it's the easiest way.


The STA driver in 11.04 doesn't work due to a kernel issue. You will have to install the B43xx firmware. Just install firmware-b43-installer from the Software Center or Synaptic.

You can also do it from the command line: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer


Well I have Broadcom 4312 wifi and installed the sta driver using the terminal

Click the dash, type 'terminal'and issue the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

It worked a treat, first time on a new install of 11.04

Hope that helps

This is what it looks like to use


I followed the Medieval's steps, but (for me) it was incomplete.

Then I had to go to System SettingsAdditional Drivers → then Activate the wireless card.

Then up in the menu desktop, I clicked Enable Wireless.

I hope this helps somebody.
