Yesterday i bought a new network card ASUS PCE-AC56 (Not an USB-adapter) for my desktop which only runs on ubuntu. I quickly found out that i need som drivers for it to work, but i cant seem to find any solution for that. I'm currently writing on my macbook air. My desktop is offline, can someone help me get it back online? I think it's worth mention that i'm a noob with linux..

Thanks

your network card does not comes with a CD driver? maybe it has some files or scripts. Can you check please what is the output of: lspci

and you can filter the result with this: $ lspci | awk '/net/ {print $1}' | xargs -i% lspci -ks %

  • Ok I see that doesnt recognizes the connection, I was searching and I found that specially this adapter does not have official support on linux, that answer my question about the CD driver – Sir Cost Oct 17 '15 at 07:23
  • Yeah, but is there a way to get this working? – kirkegaard Oct 17 '15 at 07:25
  • Well you can try installing the right and latest broadcom drivers, like this site show. There is a ppa too, maybe you can make it works, or try with the broadcom binary file – Sir Cost Oct 17 '15 at 07:30
  • Ok, i will try the binary file. How do i run it? – kirkegaard Oct 17 '15 at 07:34
  • It is not really a executable file like you imagine, you need to compile it, and run it, instructions are here or the easy way is search how compile in youtube, or get the .deb file from here – Sir Cost Oct 17 '15 at 07:38
  • HeyHeyHey! Binary works like a charm, thanks! :) SOLVED! – kirkegaard Oct 17 '15 at 07:49
  • Ah, after i restarted my computer, i can't detect my card again. do you have a soloution for that? Do i have to do the same thing over after each restart? – kirkegaard Oct 17 '15 at 08:01
  • The only thing that you have to do is try to get the card working again and try with: modprobe -r b43 ssb wl and watch this video for autostart the module of the wifi card when you reboot – Sir Cost Oct 17 '15 at 08:26
