The entire procees in this video is same as shown in my device which is zorin 16 in it and my chipset is BCM43142 but when i pass lspci command it not showing the kernel module line after subsystem
that's a good question. I dont have your exact setup so I can only guess that the problem may be that you dont have the driver on your OS. Download it by: $ sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source Since you dont have WiFi working, you can connect to the Internet via a Ethernet connection or you can use your cellphone as a tether. Hope that helps.
I'm running LMDE with realtek chipset - RTL8852BE. I have tried all the commands shared in the video and can confirm that I have the necessary drivers for this wireless chipset. To make matters worse, the required modules are also loaded into the latest kernel but still I see access points, just the toggle to enable/ disable wireless. Can you advise what could possibly be the problem?
The Dell Inspiron does not use the broadcom chipset so you wont see a response if you are looking for that. What is the output of the lspci command? I think for the Inspiron you should see the Intel chipset so the driver should be something like iwlwifi. That is what you should modprobe for.
Solution didn't worked for me, lspci command didn't show kernel module line and showed nvme kernel driver which was also mentioned in output of lsmod command ans modprobe command didn't do anything
Thanks for the video! Now i can connect to the wifi, but the internet still doesn't work for some reason. The drivers are installed and updated for the network adapter and i restarted the pc and router. The weird thing is i can connect to my phone hotspot via wifi and the internet works, does that mean its a problem with the router or are some settings messed up in my install? Thanks in advance!
If you connect your phone or other device to the router, do you get the internet? It could be that the router itself is not connected to the internet. Or that the router is not configured correctly and it is not assigning an IP and netmask to the PC.
I did this with the CAINE 12 distro which is based on Ubuntu 20.04. Unfortunately all the different distros does make things frustrating with Linux and drivers.
There are many reasons for why this is happening. Let's start with the basics. What distro are you running? When you connect the ethernet cable for the LAN, do you see the lights blink? When you scan from your wifi adapter, do you see any networks at all?
O hi can you help me what im do my drivers is not show im trying command on your videos but not work İm take Warning when grep a-3 "(network controller Brodcome İnc. and subsidiaires BCM43162 802.11ac Wireless Subsystem)"" İ guess my drivers not loaded and i cant load kernel Help me )):
so when you do the grep command and see the BCM43162 chip set, does it say what drivers are used? if not, most likely you will need the Broadcom b43 so try: $ sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer $ sudo apt install net-tools $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
Is this common problem as I have suffered from this few times but I do get ethernet , I just reboot and wifi works again Im excited to run into it again to try and solve it this way. is there any way I can self induce this problem?
It is common enough of a problem especially if you deal with a lot of different pieces of hardware like me (I'm in Digital Forensics and Incident Response). In terms of self inducing this problem, I guess you can replicate it but adding a piece of hardware that doesn't have the drivers already on the system or else you can use modprobe to remove the corresponding module, then you can manually load it again. Not sure why you would want to inflict such pain on yourself?!
which mediated chipset is your machine using? what does lspci or inxi show? If you have the MT7902, I have seen that chip is not supported thru kernel 6.3
If people are running Linux from a bootable USB or install direct to the internal drive so it doesnt matter what drivers come with the Windows laptop. One will need to make sure that the distro they are running does contain the driver, otherwise they will need to download the driver.
@@BlueMonkey4n6 i find the problem in my device when I do in driver manager there are 2 options for my pc 1st broadcom-stk-dkms 2nd do not use this device when I choose the 1st then it stops working so I just switched to the 2nd option I don't know the disadvantages of the 2nd option but not my wifi is working correctly
That is a really good question. In the case of my setup, the default blacklister in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf has the brcmfmac specifically blocked from autoloading. It is likely that when this distro was created, someone thought that the bcm43 driver will enable the wireless but obviously it doesnt work for us. Hence we had to manually modprobe the proper driver
Stuff like this is why Windows will never be dethroned.
Haha, I cant say that I disagree!! 😄

Hmmm, thats a mystery. Perhaps the driver and your version of Linux is not compatible? Which flavor and version of Linux are you running?
New to Linux. But the [lsmod | grep -e wl -e brcmfmac] and the [sudo modprobe brcmfmac] did nothing. No response from terminal at all. 🤷♀️
Are you running your linux distri on a mac or a machine that uses the broadcom chipset? Otherwise it would do nothing.
Same issue, booting it from a pendrive
