Wi-Fi not working on mid 2014 MacBook Pro with Ubuntu 15.10
I'm trying to triple boot OSX, Windows 10 and Ubuntu and I'm having a few issues with Ubuntu. So far everything seems to work except for the Wi-Fi. The wired connections seem to work, however, as the MacBook doesn't have an ethernet port (lol I know), I can only get a network connection through my phone right now.
I have tried updating my drivers and looked at multiple "supposed" fixes on the web and nothing works. If anybody has any advice or suggestions as what I can do next that would be great.
I don't know if matters but here are some specs:
- OS: El Capitan
- CPU: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
This is the network Controller I am using:
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Apple Inc. Device [106b:0112]
Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
This is because MacBook Pro uses a Broadcom Wifi driver which is not open source and so you will have to download and install it yourself.
To do so, open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma
sudo modprobe wl
Note: for this a working internet connection is required.
