Today I am new to Ubuntu 18.04, and everything is working alright except for my Internet Connection using my Asus PCE-AC68 802.11ac Wifi Card. In the Ubuntu settings it displays "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found". I have tried many different guides and tutorials but nothing seems to work. heres my attempt at downloading my drivers.

First, I ran lspci -nn and recieved the following outcome, which is my Wifi Card

05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4360 802.11ac 
Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

Second, I got the file bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb from my Ubuntu 18.04 install USB (usb/pool/restricted/p/bcmwl) and then put it on my desktop. I then moved the dkms folder from (usb/pool/main/d)

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I Recieved this output

(Reading database ... 125680 files and directories currently installed.)

Errors were encountered while processing: bcmwl-kernel-source dkms

Lastly I ran sudo modprobe wl and recieved the following:

05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4360 802.11ac 
Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

If anyone can see where I went wrong or have another solution, Please let me know

  • The error is pretty straight-forward bcmwl-kernel-source depends on linux-libc-dev; however: Package linux-libc-dev is not installed. bcmwl-kernel-source depends on libc6-dev; however: Package libc6-dev is not installed. so what you can do is either you connect throught the wired connection and install them (easy, strongly suggested) OR you download these packages with another computer and then install them by hand (OK) OR you add the usb as a repository(harder). – dadexix86 Apr 29 '18 at 21:27

Here's a similar thread: Dependencies unsatisfied for offline Broadcom installation

As @dadexix86 mentions, it's preferable if you have a wired connection you can use (temporarily) to download these dependencies. If not, you'll have to download them one by one from some place like Launchpad (e.g. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/g++) and then transfer them somehow to your machine. Afterwards you can run the following (roughly in correct order):

sudo dpkg -i linux-libc-dev_4.15.0-20.21_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libc-dev-bin_2.27-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libc6-dev_2.27-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libitm1_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libatomic1_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libasan4_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i liblsan0_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libtsan0_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libubsan0_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libcilkrts5_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libmpx2_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libquadmath0_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libgcc-7-dev_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i gcc-7_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i gcc_7.3.0-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i make_4.1-9.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i dpkg-dev_1.19.0.5ubuntu2_all.deb sudo dpkg -i libstdc++-7-dev_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i g++-7_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i g++_7.3.0-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i build-essential_12.4ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i dkms_2.3-3ubuntu9_all.deb sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb
