			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><h5>Wireless (BMC4313) Drivers:</h5>
<p>There seems to be some issues with the current range of broadcom drivers, there are several options and some barely work and give very poor wireless signal and flaky connections.</p>
<h6>Check you wireless card</h6>
<div class="dean_ch" style="white-space: wrap;">lspci | <span class="kw2">grep</span> Broadcom</div>
<p>Output:</p>
<div class="dean_ch" style="white-space: wrap;"><span class="nu0">03</span>:<span class="nu0">00.0</span> Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 <span class="nu0">802</span>.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller <span class="br0">&#40;</span><span class="kw2">rev</span> <span class="nu0">01</span><span class="br0">&#41;</span></div>
<h6>Installation:</h6>
<p>There are two options here:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> Option 1 </strong></span></p>
<p>You should also be able to use the drivers in Additional Drivers, the &#8220;Broadcom STA proprietary wireless driver&#8221;, however before doing this you need to run these commands to install the required headers and tools as it seems this step was missed out:</p>
<div class="dean_ch" style="white-space: wrap;"><span class="kw2">sudo</span> apt-get <span class="kw2">install</span> build-essential linux-headers-generic<br />
<span class="kw2">sudo</span> apt-get build-dep linux</div>
<p>To check to see if you have this directory do this:</p>
<div class="dean_ch" style="white-space: wrap;"><span class="kw2">ls</span> /lib/modules/`<span class="kw2">uname</span> -r`/build</div>
<p>Now go to Settings &gt; Additional Drivers and simply click install on the &#8220;Broadcom STA proprietary wireless driver&#8221;, reboot and you should experience much better wireless signal and connection stability.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> Option 2 </strong></span></p>
<p>If this doesn&#8217;t work for you un-install those drivers and download the source drivers and build them from source and this works well, these can be found here: <a href="http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php">http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
<h5>Graphics (HD 6320) Drivers:</h5>
<h6>Installation:</h6>
<p>These can be found in Settings &gt; Additional Drivers.</p>
<p>Install and reboot.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> This driver doesn&#8217;t account for sound over HDMI, the sound will continue to come out of the speakers. I&#8217;m looking in to a fix for this.</p>
<h6>Fixing the &#8220;AMD Ubsupported hardware&#8221; Watermark:</h6>
<p>You&#8217;ll probably now notice a watermark at the bottom right hand of the screen, reading &#8220;AMD Ubsupported hardware&#8221;. While the drivers are working away, they seem to think it&#8217;s unsupported. You can either remove the propriotry drivers and use the open source version. Or you can run the following script (found <a href="http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?19875-Unsupported-Hardware-watermark">here</a>) to remove it:</p>
<script src="http://gist.github.com/1601436.js?file=fixwatermark.sh"></script><noscript><link rel="stylesheet" href="https://gist.github.com/stylesheets/gist/embed.css"><div id="gist-1601436" class="gist">

<p>To run, either right click and save as on the link to &#8220;view raw&#8221; or copy and paste in to a file and save the file as &#8220;fixwatermark.sh&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Make executable:</strong></p>
<div class="dean_ch" style="white-space: wrap;"><span class="kw2">chmod</span> +x fixwatermark.<span class="kw2">sh</span></div>
<p><strong>Run:</strong></p>
<div class="dean_ch" style="white-space: wrap;"><span class="kw2">sudo</span> ./fixwatermark.<span class="kw2">sh</span></div>
<p>(Thanks to Andy pointing out in his comment, this needs to be run as root (I&#8217;ve added the sudo above).<br />
Reboot your system and the driver will still be running but the watermark will be removed.</p>
