CentOS 7 dual boot with Mac OS, no wifi
 
Hello experts,

As you might know I'm newbie with linux, since im very serious about learning linux, today i decided to do something.... dangerous :)
I installed CentOS 7 dual boot on macbook pro retina, I don't see the wifi card, the lspci shows "Broadcom BCM4360".

Please help me out

thanks in advance all of you.

Any luck on this?

I am trying to do the same thing. Kinda crazy there isn't a more straightforward way to get a macbook pro running centos 7 to use wifi.

Hi Saro and prx...

From what I understand, only the Broadcom STA Linux driver (wl driver) here (one of the two at the very top) will support your adapters. Read the "Linux STA Readme" (at the very bottom) for confirmation of your chip's support.

Follow the instructions at the page rokytnji linked to and, hopefully, you should be good to go! :)

Regards...
