How to set up Broadcom BCM4312 wireless network in Ubuntu Server Linux


Hello everyone!

How to configure the Broadcom BCM4312 wireless network in Ubuntu Server Linux. This is the wireless board of my old laptop model: (Philco PHN14003)

At first we need to confirm that you really have the BCM4312.

root@linux:/# lspci | grep Network
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
root@linux:/#

root@linux:/# apt-get update root@linux:/# apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer root@linux:/# ifconfig wlan0 up root@linux:/# iwconfig root@linux:/# iwlist scan > log_wifi.txt </pre>

Than, you have to find your SSID inside your .txt file. In my case, the name is “safe”

root@linux:/# wpa_passphrase MY_SSID MY_PASSWORD > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

You have to put your ssid and your wireless password as you see.

Thus, we have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces and put this:

<code>auto wlan 
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf</code>

 

That’s it! Just reboot with reboot -n and its working!
