I am installing the drivers for the wifi on the macbook on which I recently installed Ubuntu through the Software & Updates menu under the Additional drivers tab. When I choose the driver and press apply changes the progress bar halts while it says applying changes.

I have tried unmounting and mounting the USB I am installing it from. As well as restarting my computer. Nothing works.

I assume you have a Broadcom Wireless Card (BCMxxxx). You can check for the same using 

sudo lshw -c network

To install the Broadcom drivers via the Terminal

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source dkms

  • Thanks. But when i try to install it, it says the following: "Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS _Trusty Tahr_ - Release amd64 (20140722.2)' in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter" I have ubuntu on an USB-stick not a CD-rom. How do i tell it to get it from the USB-stick instead? – Kjæran Dahle Nov 15 '14 at 17:18
  • Open 'Software Sources' and uncheck the checkbox 'CDROM with Ubuntu' – Rohith Madhavan Nov 15 '14 at 17:32
  • Remove the media used for installation (ie USB Drive, CD) if you have already installed Ubuntu – Rohith Madhavan Nov 15 '14 at 17:33
