On Asus P8Z77 motherboard, a powerful wireless network card is provided. It is a dual wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n network card and is more powerful than that is provided by the pro version board, which is a single one with only one antenna without blue tooth. A fabulous set of drivers and utilities is included in the ASUS driver disk for Windows system. However, there is nothing coming with the package even a simple driver to Linux. I cannot found any thing in ASUS website, either.
It is not impossible to drive the wifi on P8Z77 in Linux. I got a box with the latest Fedora 17 32-bit installed. The kernel is 3.4.3 .
I installed a USB wireless card from Cisco Linksys AE1000 on my previous Linux box without too much difficulties. It is not hard to find some articles on the Internet to teach you to install it because the Linux driver is available to the public. The only troublesome task is to identify the correct chipset of the device, which is usually also the most basic and important task to install a device driver in Linux. The AE1000 uses the Ralink's chipset RT3572 according to a website. The Internet is a good tool to save me a lot of time and works to disassemble the network card, which would be a really massive task. Fortunately, the Ralink's official Linux driver is all over the Internet. Downloading, Unpacking and Installing will easily accomplish the task.
My sanguine about the Linux driver of the ASUS wifi go's card keeps until I saw someone's thread saying that the Deluxe version of p8z77 got a wireless network card from broadcom with very limited Linux drivers available on the Internet, especially the official Linux driver. I happened to find an official Linux version driver for broadcom chipset in the official website of the broadcom. However, for some reasons, it cannot be installed correctly because the compilation process is ending with an error message. Fortunately, I found another forum thread representing another method to install this driver.
The chip in the ASUS's board is BCM43228 according to the 'lspci' command in Linux. The only available method to drive this wireless card is to install the official Linux driver which is mentioned above. But, if the RPM fusion is installed in the system, the installation process can be accomplished by a yum installation command, which would be much more reliable. But bear in mind that, the non free repository of RPM fusion should also be installed. The name of package is 'kmod-wl'. However, it cannot be used in my case because I have upgraded my Linux kernel to 3.4.3. The kernel version of both kmod-wl and kmod-wl-PAE require some specific kernel version such as 3.4.2. So I have to use the last one 'akmod-wl', which is kernel version independent. I have successfully installed the driver of the network card by using this method.
