wireless - Broadcom STA + live USB? - Ask Ubuntu


i carry live 16.04 usb drive around use on various computers, , trying use on machine requires broadcom sta driver wi-fi card.

however, since it's live usb, rebooting after using ethernet install driver... think can see problem there :)

so, how can load broadcom sta driver without rebooting?

the broadcom sta driver, known bcmwl-kernel-source, dependency dkms, resides on live session. should able go software , updates > additional drivers , install it. although haven't broadcom wireless device , cannot test, suspect wireless work immediately.
