This last release 11.04 was the straw that broke the camels back.

#Ubuntu broadcom bcm4360 drivers#
For the last few releases I have had to go from using windows drivers to 3rd party drivers and sometime jump through hoops to get it to work.
#Ubuntu broadcom bcm4360 driver#
I'm hopeful that the driver was simply updated between April and June and that now BCM4360-based wifi adapters can run at 802.11ac speeds, but as it's closed source, I can't check the commits, and have not been able to find any discussion more recent than what I linked above. The first is my Broadcom wifi card and Ubuntu do not play well with one another. Unfortunately, he doesn't detail what changes he made. On the other hand, this user (in a post from June) states that he managed to get ac speeds in Arch simply by changing his router settings. I have found user reports here and here from April 2014 stating that the driver runs BCM4360 based adapters in 802.11a/b/g mode and doesn't allow 802.11n and 802.11ac connections to be made. What I'm interested in learning is how a wireless adapter based on the BCM4360 will perform using the broadcom-wl driver-I don't want to buy a wifi adapter that won't work at its full capacity, after all. incluyen:Apple tarjeta WLAN a PCI-E 1x Escritorio PC WIFI adaptador X 1. for installing the Broadcom BCM943XX and BCM43XX Wireless LAN Driver. Whenever you shop on-line, it truly is safer to progress offers upon various merchandise. This leaves me with the proprietary broadcom-wl driver, which is listed as supporting the BCM4360. Vista broadcom x driver windows 7 broadcom g network adapter driver linux broadcom driver ubuntu. The Broadcom BCM4360 chip is not supported by the b43 driver, and I believe it also isn't supported by the brcmsmac driver, since it isn't listed here. This can be seen in modinfo iwlwifi and modinfo wl. Probable explanation: Both the Intel driver iwlwifi and the Broadcom driver wl use the helper module cfg80211. Reboot and again show us the result of: dmesg grep wl. It is worth noting that every available 802.11ac compatible PCIe based wireless adapter seemingly uses this chip (I've heard of people having success with 802.11ac speeds using Qualcomm Atheros based wifi adapters and the ath10k driver, but there are no Atheros-based PCIe wireless adapters on the market, as far as I can tell). Please open a terminal and do: sudo apt purge backport-iwlwifi-dkms. The best candidate I've come across is the Asus PCE-AC68, and PCIe based adapter that uses Broadcom's BCM4360 chip, the same wifi chip used in the Late 2013 retina Macbook Pro. I recently got an Asus RT66U router, so I'm looking for a wireless adapter that supports the 802.11ac standard. After that, I get the lock ups, and any data transfer fails, ICMP included. Mine is able to associate with the AP, and even get an IP address. broadcom-wl is the only module that supports the 4360. I'm currently in need of a wireless adapter for my desktop computer.
