Starting with WiFi in Intel Galileo Gen 2

[YElía]

I just got an Intel Galileo Gen 2 and I've been trying to connect a Broadcom Wireless Card but I got no success. The card is bcm94311mcg and I couldn't find any driver for Linux. I took it from an old laptop with the antenna. I installed the SD Card in the Galileo (like the shown in this tutorial: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/galileo-getting-started-guide/bigger-linux-image Galileo Getting Started Guide - learn.sparkfun.com) and now I tried to follow this tutorial: http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers - Ask Ubuntu but I couldn't do much. In the first step I got stuck with the first command. When I type lspci on the terminal I got:

00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:0958

00:14.0 Class 0805: 8086:08a7

00:14.1 Class 0700: 8086:0936

00:14.6 Class 0200: 8086:0937

00:14.7 Class 0200: 8086:0937

00:15.0 Class 0c80: 8086:0935

00:17.0 Class 0604: 8086:11c3

00:1f.0 Class 0601: 8086:095e

01:00.0 Class 0280: 14e4:4311

But this don't tell me anything like the tutorial. Also I found an answer in Windows Dev Center (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsdesktop/en-US/5c9619cf-d07b-43b2-a9e3-e740e381b399/m... mPCIe WiFi on Galileo) but I found out that the Clanton Image running in the Galileo doesn't support devcon command. Anyone could help me to install it?

Hi,

Take a look at http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-034398.htm Intel® Wi-Fi Products — Linux* Support for Intel® Wi-Fi Adapters . This document details the drivers available for the different wifi cards. This list has the supported devices, along with the kernel versions it will work with.
