Thread: Getting airport card to work
i'm onto next step, getting airport card recognized. found following site gives instructions how to that:
http://jomcode.com/fadhil/2008/broad...river-bcm4312/
gives following instruction don't understand:
"here’s gist of instructions were:
untar file hybrid-portsrc-x86_32_5_10_27_6.tar.gz (hybrid-portsrc-x86_64_5_10_27_6.tar.gz if you’re running on 64-bit kernel) in own folder:
tar -xvzf hybrid-portsrc-x86_32_5_10_27_6.tar.gz
should see in directory listing:
hybrid-portsrc-x86_32_5_10_27_6.tar.gz
lib
makefile
src
build loadable kernel module (lkm) so:
make -c /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build m=`pwd`
of course, need make sure have required kernel headers before building it. once that’s done, directory listing should this:
built-in.o
hybrid-portsrc-x86_32_5_10_27_6.tar.gz
lib
makefile
modules.order
module.symvers
src
wl.ko
wl.mod.c
wl.mod.o
wl.o"
part in bold don't understand. can enlighten me?
do have airport old fashioned ? maybe stupid question, thought simple kernel module. happens if you:
do see wireless stuff ?code:sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter (when asked "fetch , install firmware?" answer "yes" (just press "enter) ) sudo modprobe b43 sudo iwconfig
