Hi Folks I'm trying to get my internal WiFi working and I'm following the instructions here: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom My adaptor is: [gary at gary ~]$ lspci|grep Broad 08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03) [gary at gary ~]$ However, I've failed at step 2 as I cannot find any Linux / STA / WL drivers when I search the support page linked. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this, or suggest another web page I can follow? Cheers

You may want to go to the ELRepo article that is referenced on that page ( http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod ? )?. The ELRepo instructions are up to date and should cover EL7.4. Akemi

After rebooting I tried to do the modprobe but got the following: [root at gary ~]# modprobe wl modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Required key not available [root at gary ~]# This relates to the secure boot that is mentioned on the page. I therefore went through the process of disabling secure boot. This consisted of running: [root at gary ~]# mokutil --disable-validation password length: 8~16 input password: input password again: [root at gary ~]# After doing this I rebooted. As part of the reboot I was supposed to be asked for the password that I had just created but I wasn't. Then, after the reboot I tried the modprobe command but received the same error message. Anyone got ideas what I need to do next?
