After installing Linux Mint 22 on my MacBook pro 2010, I was unable to select a wireless network. After a quick search on the internet I discovered following thread and this solved my problem.
All commands have to be run as super user
1. Update the list of available packages. Install the module-assistant and wireless-tools packages:
apt-get updateapt-get install module-assistant wireless-tools2. Build and install a broadcom-sta-modules-* package for your system, using Module-Assistant:
m-a a-i broadcom-staThe “a-i” stands for “auto-install,” meaning “download the module source, compile it for the current kernel and install it”.
3. Blacklist the brcm80211 module, to prevent it conflicting for support of BCM4313, BCM43224 and BCM43225 devices:
echo blacklist brcm80211 >> /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf4. Rebuild your initial ramdisk, to blacklist modules defined at /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf within initramfs:
update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r)5. Unload conflicting modules:
modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcm802116. Load the wl module:
modprobe wl7. Verify your device has an available interface:
iwconfig8. Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.
9. Exit the root terminal:
exit
