linux 下手动编译安装无线网卡驱动

//先参照 《本地yum源安装GCC 》安装好gcc

hp的笔记本上安装了CentOS6.3,没有安装无线网卡驱动，安装这个驱动，在Google上找了好多资料，最后终于解决了这个问题。在这里做点记录，希望也能帮到别人。

我的机子是32位，CentOS的内核版本是2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.i686，下载的无线网卡驱动是hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_112.tar.gz

下面是具体的步骤

一：确定无线网卡的型号，驱动下载

第一步要确定机子的无线网卡型号是什么，可以用命令

[[email protected] ~]$/sbin/lspci | grep Broadcom
02:00.0 Network controller:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev
01)
或
[[email protected] ~]$lspci | grep Wireless

可见对应的驱动为：Broadcom BCM4313

下载驱动：http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

其中，在下载页面有一个README.txt文件，里面有一段话这样描述：

SUPPORTED DEVICES
—————–
The cards with the following PCI Device IDs
are supported with this driver.
Both Broadcom and and Dell product names
are described. Cards not listed
here may also work.

To find the Device ID’s of Broadcom cards on your machines do:
# lspci
-n | grep 14e4

运行：
[[email protected] ~]$ lspci -n | grep 14e4
02:00.0 0280: 14e4:4727
(rev 01)
0b:00.0 0200: 14e4:1680 (rev 10)

CentOS的内核源码是放在 /usr/src/kernels 目录中; 如果通过在线升级内核, 也是放在这个目录中; 如果你的系统中的
/usr/src/kernels/ 中没有内容，说明没有安装内核的源码包 kernel-devel 软件包; 通过在线安装的内核源码包, 可以通过 yum
安装的, 内核源码会被放到 /usr/src/kernel 下的目录中

[[email protected] ~]# yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc

如果未安装内核的源码包，在后面make的时候会报错误：

[[email protected] hybird-wl]$ make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/
M=`pwd`
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-279.el6.i686/build/: No such file or
directory. Stop.

二：建立安装目录

[[email protected] ~]# mkdir -p /usr/local/src/hybrid-wl
[[email protected]
hybrid-wl]# cd /usr/local/src/hybrid-wl
[[email protected] hybrid-wl]# tar xvfz
/path/to/the/tarball/hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_112.tar.gz(name of the
downloaded file)
[[email protected] hybrid-wl]# chown -R someuser.somegroup
/usr/local/src/hybrid-wl

三：编译

[[email protected] hybird-wl]$ make

第一次编译，报了如下的错误：

KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
M=`pwd`
make[1]: Entering directory

google了一下，发现CentOS6.3版本报的都是相同的错误，找了好多资料都没有好的解决办法。回头再看broadcom的REAMME.txt,里面写了一段话：

If your driver does not build, check to make sure you have installed
the
kernel package described in the requirements above.

This driver now supports the new linux cfg80211 wireless configuration API
in
addition to the older Wireless Extensions (Wext). The makefile
will
automaticly build the right version for your system but it can
be
overridden if needed:

# make API=WEXT
or
# make API=CFG80211

尝试重新编译

[[email protected] hybird-wl]$ make clean
[[email protected] hybird-wl]$
make API=WEXT

编译通过了，生成了wl.ko这个文件，发现还是得看官方的文档。完成编译后便是安装

[[email protected] hybird-wl]$ make install

安装就是把文件COPY到/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/net/wireless 目录。

四：驱动配置

移除所有其它的BROADCOM 无线设备驱动。除了我们已经编译好的驱动外，其它的Broadcom 802.11芯片驱动象b43, bcma和ssb。
这个驱动和我们新的驱动是冲突的。所以我们要先把它们移除。

# lsmod  | grep “b43\|ssb\|bcma\|wl”

如果以下任何一种驱动存在，移除它：

[[email protected] hybird-wl]$rmmod b43
[[email protected] hybird-wl]$rmmod
ssb
[[email protected] hybird-wl]$rmmod bcma
[[email protected] hybird-wl]$rmmod
wl

所这些配置加入黑名单，不让它们被使用:

[[email protected] hybird-wl]$echo “blacklist ssb” >>
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[[email protected] hybird-wl]$echo “blacklist
bcma” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[[email protected] hybird-wl]$echo
“blacklist b43″ >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

载入新的驱动

[[email protected] hybird-wl]$modprobe lib80211 # 因为 wl.ko
需要依赖该模块
[[email protected] hybird-wl]$insmod wl.ko

现在你的网络管理程序应该可以找到设备, 你可以使用无线网络了!最后添加开机启动

[[email protected] wireles_smoudules]# cp wl.ko /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
[[email protected] wireles_smoudules]#
depmod -a
[[email protected] wireles_smoudules]# echo modeprobe wl >>
/etc/rc.local
