Hello,
I just installed Zorin OS 17.1 Core Fr on my laptop (Asus X751L), the installation went well, except that my wifi card is not recognized.
In the updates, I am offered to install a Broadcom driver and reboot but it does not work.
Thank you in advance for your help
Welcome to the Forum!
So, when You click and choose the Point ''Utilisation de Broadcom ...'' it doesn't happen anything?
Apparently broadcom drivers are often unsigned and so you may need to disable Secure Boot, then reinstall them.
Source: wireless - BCM43142 WiFi adapter doesn't work on Ubuntu 20.04 - Ask Ubuntu
If that doesn't work, please see my guide on troubleshooting wifi that I wrote because wifi issues are a depressingly common topic with linux.
Don't forget that Broadcom is also wholly proprietary and must be installed by the user, not by a distributor:
sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source
Hello,
Great! , it works after disabling Secure Boot in the bios settings (Key "Esc" when starting on Asus)
Update Manager - Settings - Additional Drivers - Using Broadcom 802.11..."
The installation was done automatically and I was able to connect.
Should I leave Secure Boot disabled now?
Thanks for your help!
You could simply test it and activate it again and look if it works. But to prevent possible other Issues You could let it deactivate.
