Installation with wifi: how exactly do i install the drivers?

hi: i intend to install arch on my laptop but i have an issue with internet: i can use the ethernet port (which is always detected fine by default drivers) but then i have to balance my laptop up next to the router. i would rather use wireless: but i need the broadcom-wl driver.
when exactly do i install it?!
i find this part of the wiki very vague: can someone be so generous as to provide explicit instructions as to how to install these drivers? inclusing what i need on the media etc.
thank you in advance
zom

Try these instructions
Then install this package from the AUR with yaourt
edit: A hint that got me in a little trouble at first (im still a little new) - do *not* just read the code part of the instructions and copy it into your terminal. Read the instructions *very* thoroughly, multiple times if needed, until you understand not only what to do, but *why* you are doing it and what will happen when you're doing it.

  • Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware

    Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help

    That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
    To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
    If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.

    You can't run Windows on your Macbook Air without having Mac OS X installed with Boot Camp.  So it should be an option to select the Mac OS X partition at startup when holding down the option key.  Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4818

    i have the ipad 2 with wifi how do i turn it on ?

    If you mean "turn on the iPad", hold the Sleep button - top edge of the device, on the right-hand end - for a second or two
    If you mean "turn on WiFi", go to Settings, Wifi, and set it to On. Make sure that Settings, Airplane Mode is set to Off

  • Having many problem with wifi....after installing lion......

    Having many problem with wifi....after installing lion......it connect with wifi but not with Internet and at the same time iPad 2, iPhone 4 works smooth......help......I have MacBook air without thunderbolt and mac mini

    I had the same problem last night. Boot into OSX and reboot the router - fine. Boot into Windows and wrong. Here were my fixes:
    Firstly, I kept all the settings on my router solid. Just leave them as they are. Boot into OSX and check the Network settings and make a note of your IP address and the router's IP address.
    Second, boot into Windows, then open up your wireless connection settings and navigate through to the properties where you can set the IP address.
    Third: Set the IP address to your routers IP address changing the last set of digits to a value between 5 and 255 (I have 8 devices so I set the last two digits to 10.) This will keep the IP static.
    Tab through the Mask settings to default those.
    Then set the default gateway to your router's IP address.
    Check that the Network Adapter's setting has IPv6 disabled (uncheck the box)
    Finally: Set the primary DNS server to 8.8.8.8 then the secondary to 8.8.4.4 and then reboot the router.
    That's what got my connection running.

  • I have hp 430 laptop,how can i re install the windows 7, if i not have original window on my laptop

    I have hp 430 laptop,how can i re install the windows 7, if i not have original windows on my laptop. i have oem number,
    But i have troubol to finishing installation of window.

    Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now
    As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition is in a working condition or not, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook
    If Recovery Partition is corrupted
    You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    OR
    You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay
    Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

    i formated my macbook pro with windows 7 and i lost all the drivers, does anyone know how to recover the drivers?

    How did you get them to install the first time and where did you get them?
    Read the Installation Guide, Boot Camp 4.0 FAQ and the Windows 7 FAQ.
    Here's the Boot Camp Manual.

  • How do I un-install the update that disabled my add-on's that I depend highly upon?

    Today I downloaded your update, THEN I was told that some programs I highly depend upon have been disabled, how do I un-install the update and get my functionality back for my programs. I was not having any problems until I downloaded the update. I am not happy. The programs involved in the order of there importance are Freecorder and U-tube Video Capture.

    You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)].
    '''Research your extensions''',
    You might also find addition information on the extension's add-on page, some may have updates, some solutions may be found in the developer comments or user comments on the add-on, or on the "'''View all versions'''" link which is part of the '''Release notes''' at the bottom of the add-on page where you may find a compatible version available that is waiting for approval.
    ===Force Compatibility===
    You can force 5.0 "compatibility" with the "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Compatibility Reporter]" extension, or with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility extensions.checkCompatibility] using about:config.
    One of the nice things about having extensions is that you can disable them and still use Firefox, disabled extensions will still get update notices. Or maybe use another extension until the one you want is fixed or works for you.
    ===Restore an Earlier Version===
    For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
    * ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
    :or with the latest of version 3
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html
    When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

  • Can i get help on how I can successfully install the new google voice video chat software. I keep having an install error. My google voice phone always worked until a week ago when suddenly google would not let me call out from any browser

    Can i get help on how I can successfully install the new google voice video chat software. I keep having an install error. My google voice phone always worked until a week ago when suddenly google would not let me call out from any browser until I installed their new google voice and video chat (made by vidyo) software. I was told by genius bar to install Yosemite, which I did. But that did not solve the problem. I removed macKeeper, as well, since a techie friend told me that could be the cause. Nothing so far has worked.  When the problem first happened, it seemed to only happen in Chrome. Google voice calling out worked fine in safari, for about a day or so. Now I cannot call out from any browser. I can, however receive calls, and make calls within the video hangout.

  • How do I re-install the Collab Suite Portal

    Hi,
    I have an installation where the Collaboration Suite portal isn't working. The individual component pages work but when I click on the Collab Suite portal I get an error message that /pls/portal does not exist. How do I re-install the portal to have it appear on the Welcome page?
    TIA

    Unfortunately you do not have enough information in this post to know what issue you have encountered. You have not specified your Release version, environment or any history that brought you to this state.
    You are not able to just install the Portal component by its self and have all the applications work on it.
    This sounds like a great issue for OCS support. I would log a TAR.

  • Problem with installing the drivers from cd-rom CTREG

    the other problem I have is that once in a blue moon the mixer will not work and the only way to get it work is to pretty much go through the painful installin/re-intallation of the whole thing because nothing seems to work. It says the sounds blaster card could not be found...

  • How can I re-install the app?

    Indesign CC was trashed. Creative Cloud Shows app as "up to date". How can I re-install the app?

    Hi Notebook57,
    You first need to uninstall the application completely.
    In Mac :-- Applications --->Utilities --->Adobe Installers
    in Adobe installers you will find the uninstaller for Indesign CC just run that and complete the uninstallation.
    In window :-- Control panel ---> programs and features --> uninstall Indesign cc.
    After doing this you can launch Creative cloud desktop ---> log out and log back in.
    You should see the option to install the software again.
    Thanks
