In Topic: Rebranding Broadcom based 802.11b/g/n cards.

27 September 2012 - 03:55 PM

Hi, in order to make my "dell dw1520 broadcom bcm4322 wireless agn half mini card + mini Pci-e wireless adapter" to work in my mountain lion hackintosh as an native airport, I installed Latest Ubuntu 12.10 Beta.

Here the card does get recognized and I can access my network.. though firefox doesnt want to show anything... When trying to access google it just say at the bottom: Transferring data from www.google.com...


So I opened Terminal, and started following instructions from this thread.

- sudo apt-get update  <-- workd! But it took over 3 hours!! (though at the end I got lots of:  W: Failed to fetch...  Some url + connection failed [ip..]

then when tried the next lines: install build essential, curl or git-core... i always get the follow:  package XXX is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.


So... What now?? :S

I've been a windows user for yeeeaars (since 3.1 or .11) and for a year ago, looking how the 8 was going to be, I got converted to Mac Os X (hackintosh). So no Linux experience or programming of any sort beside som websesign ;)



Any help would be great. :)
