ubuntu 16.04 连接无线网络

最近在闲置的Dell inspiron 6400上安装了ubuntu 16.04版本，安装过程此处不细说。

安装完成后，发现WIFI无法开启，通过如下方法进行无线网卡的配置。

1）查看对应的PCI设备

0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) ---> 无线网卡

可以看出，我的Dell 6400 上的无线网卡是 Broadcom 的BCM4311。ubuntu 16.04 默认的网卡驱动无法使该网卡工作，通过如下方法重新安装网卡驱动：

去掉ubuntu 16.04 默认的broadcom 无线网卡驱动:
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source

安装社区中最新的broadcom 无线网卡驱动：
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter

查看网卡驱动配置文件：
cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep ‘bcm‘
可以在blacklist.conf中看到bcm43xx被加入黑名单的配置，去掉该配置。#blacklist bcm43xx

完成后重启系统。

2）查看网卡设备

[email protected]:/code# lshw -c network
  *-network
       description: Network controller
       product: BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN

       logical name: eth0

       resources: irq:17 memory:ef9fe000-ef9fffff
  *-network DISABLED
       description: Wireless interface
       physical id: 2
       logical name: wlan0
       serial: 00:1e:4c:4a:ee:96
       capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
       configuration: broadcast=yes driver=b43 driverversion=4.13.0-39-generic firmware=666.2 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11

可以看到设备中有wlan0的无线网卡设备，配置该设备。

3）配置无线网卡设备。

有自动获取IP地址和静态配置IP地址两种方式。在/etc/network/interfaces文件进行配置。

自动获取方式添加以下内容：

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid xxxxxx
wpa-psk yyyyyy

静态配置IP地址方式添加如下内容：

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.0.150
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
wpa-ssid xxxxxx
wpa-psk yyyyyyy

其中wpa-ssid这行就是你的WIFI名称。

wpa-psk就是你的WIFI连接密码。

其中wlan0是WIFI接口名，请根据你的实际接口名填写。

4）使能网口设备

修改完成后，通过如下命令使能无线网卡

#首先关闭WIFI
sudo ifdown wlan0

#然后启用WIFI
sudo ifup -v wlan0

5）测试WIFI

无线网卡配置完成。
