Yes, the wl driver is the proprietary driver I was referring to. The brcmfmac open source driver is gaining support for this chipset in 4.6+ kernels apparently. So, the closed source driver is the way to go.

Hello,
As of above links i came to know the kernel is not supported. what should i do now. should i need to change RHEL6. If yes suggest me some Good OS for small Server type of thing to access. I could not find the driver BCM43142. Regards |
Refer to link given for installing the closed source Broadcom driver. You will need to have wired internet connectivity to get the driver.

@ferrari,
Thanks for the link... But i could not find the correct way what to do next. what is the option now for me...? can u explain...? I have wired network connection.I could not find the driver though. |
prajwal.867,
Another alternative is to find a USB wifi adapter similar to the D-Link Wireless-N 150 Easy USB Adapter: See post #7 here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-a-4175529573/ NB A script needed minor modification to get the D-Link 150 wifi adapter to work. BEFORE purchasing a similar wifi adapter, use Google to check its compatibility with RHEL.

prajwal.867,
Another route would be to replace the Broadcom wifi card with this Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6235, which is better supported by Linux: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/...000005511.html https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-6235A.../dp/B007QXLIWI Someone here successfully using Intel Centrino 6235 with CentOS 7: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=49228 |
