How do I get a Broadcom BCM43225 wireless card working?
Plug into ethernet and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl
sudo modprobe wl
After a few seconds wireless activated and detected my newtork. (The above commands were run by using wired network of course)
You might try this:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf
Add one line:
options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=UK
Proofread, save and close gedit. Unload and reload brcmsmac:
sudo modprobe -r brcmsmac
sudo modprobe brcmsmac
Check:
sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep cfg | tail -n20
cat /sys/module/cfg80211/parameters/ieee80211_regdom
It may take a reboot.
