Repository Details

Broadcom Linux hybrid wireless driver (64-bit)

Broadcom Linux hybrid wireless driver (64-bit)

Re-upload from the source code found on the Broadcom Support and Downloads page

Patched for Linux >= 4.7

Tested on a BCM4360-based 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (TP-LINK Archer T8E)

Prerequisites

The following kernel modules are incompatible with this driver and should not be loaded:

  • ssb
  • bcma
  • b43
  • brcmsmac

Make sure to unload (rmmod command) and blacklist those modules in order to prevent them from being automatically reloaded during the next system startup:

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

# wireless drivers (conflict with Broadcom hybrid wireless driver 'wl')
blacklist ssb
blacklist bcma
blacklist b43
blacklist brcmsmac

Compile and install

Manually

Build and install for the running kernel:

$ make
$ make install
$ depmod -A
$ modprobe wl

Automatically

Using DKMS and the included dkms.conf file, one can let the operating system rebuild and install the module automatically on every new kernel installation:

$ dkms add /path/to/this/repo
$ dkms status
broadcom-wl, 6.30.223.271: added

Providing that the dkms service is enabled, the module should appear as installed in the list of modules managed by DKMS after the system boots for the first time on the new kernel:

$ dkms status
broadcom-wl, 6.30.223.271, 4.7.6-200.x86_64, x86_64: installed
