You can find more details using command man modprobe. Modprobe program to add and remove modules from the Linux Kernel. Note: Whenever the kernel version is upgraded you will need rebuild this driver.Īnd are these steps permanent? Or do I have to add them to some nf file for everytime I boot.Īnyways, the steps worked for me and I have established a connection with my router, I just need to know if I need to do additional steps to keep the driver permanently etc. What does he mean at the end when he mentions : The two other lines, I don't understand either what they are doing. Here's the tutorial I followed:Īs far as what I've read, modprobe seems to add the driver to the list of drivers for the kernel, but is that operation only good for one session? So I went on intel's website and downloaded the Drivers for Linux and compiled them with make install.

I have the last version of Ubuntu(12.04).

I just bought a Lenovo T420, I booted the live CD and couldn't connect to my wireless router so I figured I needed the drivers for it.
