The newer version is reported to have WFI working, and other
improvements. But it doesn't look as if the WIFI kernel module (driver)
is loading automatically.
Load WFI module with:
Code:
--------------------
sudo modprobe bcmdhd
--------------------
Check module has loaded by listing all loaded modules:
Code:
--------------------
sudo lsmod
--------------------
See if wireless lan interface is listed:
Code:
--------------------
sudo ifconfig wlan0
--------------------
If not, you might need to use this command:
Code:
--------------------
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
--------------------
If the wireless lan interface is listed, you can see it's current state
with:
Code:
--------------------
iwconfig
--------------------
Now proceed to configure your WIFI connection via the "Network
Connections" menu option.
To ensure the WIFI module is loaded on re-boot, you need to make a small
change to one of the system files. The safest way to do this is via
this terminal command:
Code:
--------------------
sudo leafpad /etc/modules
--------------------
This will open the "/etc/modules" file in the leafpad text editor with
"root" permissions. You just need to add the name of the WIFI module,
bcmdhd, to whatever is already listed and save the change and exit.
