Wireless Driver installation :
Some times the default installed Broadcom chipset wireless drivers does not work with various
Linux distros. In these case we can configure it using ndiswrapper utility.
Do as follows,
1. Download the ndiswrapper (You can use different utilities Yum,apt,Yast etc. as per your OS)
2. If rpm package of ndiswrapper not get, download the tar ball from http://www.sourceforge.net
Then unpack it and follow the README file for further instructions. (Or INSTALL file)
3. Download (Or access the attached BCM folder) a working Windows XP wireless driver as per
your wireless chipset. Checking for these use the following command from linux terminal;
# lspci v
1. It will show the Network controller chipset and manufacturer.
2. Then if your chipset module is already configured as 'bcm43xx' then you can block that module
from kernelloading. For this you can use,
# vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
And add a line below in these file as follows,
blacklist bcm43xx
3. Reboot your computer. This time the driver should not be loaded.
4. After install ndiswrapper, go to the directory where you already downloaded wireless drivers for
Windows XP.
5. Then install the driver using ndiswrapper as follows,
# ndiswrapper i bcmwl5.inf
6. Check whether it installed or not, for this use the following
# ndiswrapper l
7. For every reboot ndiswrapper should be loaded with the kernel, for this;
# depmod a
# ndiswrapper ma
# ndiswrapper m
8. Reboot the computer and after login you can check with iwconfig or NetworkManager to verify
your wireless card's status.
If the chipset is Intel based then you can follow these steps...
Do as follows,
1. Download the following rpm file
http://apt.sw.be/packages/rpmforgerelease/rpmforgerelease0.3.61.el5.rf.i386.rpm
(Or access it from the attachment. File name package.tar.gz)
2. Go to the directory it is downloaded and execute the following command to Install
(alternatively you can double click on it to install) ,
# rpm Uvh rpmforgerelease0.3.61.el5.rf.i386.rpm
3. Take /etc/yum.conf file in any editor and add/change the following values
proxy=http://172.16.14.60:8000
metadata_expire=604800
gpgcheck=0
4. Execute the following command to install the Intel drivers (Check the chipset number with
lspci v , It'll give you the exact wireless chipset number. In example mentioned Intel PRO
3945 series).
# yum install dkms dkmsipw3945 ipw3945d ipw3945firmware
5. Reboot the machine and execute the following command and you should see the eth1 listed
with some parameters
# iwconfig
6. Start NetworkManager by executing the following command
# service NetworkManager start
7. Also make sure that NetworkManager starts automatically after the reboot by giving the
following command
# chkconfig level 35 NetworkManager on
8. Select NetworkManager and choose 'connect to other wireless network' option,
Give 'OMWLAN' as Network name and select WPA Enterprise2 and EAP method is PEAP, Key
type is Automatic. Identity is your domain username & password is your domain password.. Choose
connect.
Solution Implementation Details For Wireless Networks
1. Run the following command in a gnometerminal as root..
# service NetworkManager start, (if it is not running..)
2. From Your desktop, you can open a GUI tool on your taskbar select that use leftmouseclick..
It will give “Connect to other wireless network” option. Select that option and you can give
Network name as “OMWIFI”..
Give here as per the screenshot...
Then select Login to Network.
3. It should connect and work fine...
