Install BCM4331 driver for Mac wireless network card on Ubuntu

To automatically install missing drivers, including the wireless network card driver, use the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

Then, check if the b43 driver is blacklisted by other drivers with the following command, as this can cause the wireless network card driver to not work:

grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/*

If the output is as follows:

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf:blacklist b43
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf:blacklist b43legacy
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:# replaced by b43 and ssb.

Then, you need to execute the following commands to remove the blacklist:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf
sudo modprobe b43

If you have correctly configured the WIFI connection, you can use the ip a command to see three network interfaces:

  • lo Local loopback interface
  • enp2s0f0 Ethernet network interface, which is the wired network, similar to eth0, with an assigned IP
  • wlp3s0 Wireless network interface, identified by the wl prefix indicating wlan, with an assigned IP
