Hi All, I am wondering if there is a way to automate the following things with a single bash file. //edit sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update //restricted drivers nvidia //apt get sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras skype avant-window-navigator startupmanager amarok vlc conky emerald compizconfig-settings-manager thunderbird gparted libdvdcss2 kmymoney2 bittornado-gui wine seamonkey galeon acidrip curl xautomation //ndis $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist password: then add: blacklist b43 (you can put it under blacklist bcm43xx save and quit gedit. The second step is to install ndiswrapper From Applications - Add/Remove search for ndiswrapper It will automatically install ndiswrapper with its dependency Third: copy the bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys to your home folder and fire up terminal/konsole change to the directory where you put the two files: $ cd bcm43 $ sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf check if the driver is installed by giving command: $ sudo ndiswrapper -l bcmwl5 : driver installed device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx) Fourth: Edit rc.local $ sudo gedit /etc/rc.local add the following lines: modprobe -r b44 modprobe -r ssb modprobe -r ndiswrapper modprobe ndiswrapper modprobe ssb modprobe b44 Fifth : Reboot your computer and setup your wireless network I reinstall Ubuntu frequently (I like testing things out often and sometimes it leads downhill). I currently just have the above in a text file and than manually copy paste that stuff to get it set up but would love for an auto process. Thanks!

Copy the bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys to your home folder before executing this script.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

echo " Editing up sources.list file "
echo
sudo echo "deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable" non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d
sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

echo "Installing Restricted drivers and other stuff"
echo
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras skype avant-window-navigator startupmanager amarok vlc conky emerald compizconfig-settings-manager thunderbird gparted libdvdcss2 kmymoney2 bittornado-gui wine seamonkey galeon acidrip curl xautomation

echo " :: Editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist  ::"
echo
sudo echo "blacklist b43" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

echo " :: Installing ndiswrapper :: "
echo
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
cd bcm43
sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf

echo "Checking if driver installed correctly :: "
echo
sudo ndiswrapper -l

echo "Editing /etc/rc.local file ::"
echo
echo "modprobe -r b44" >> /etc/rc.local
echo "modprobe -r ssb" >> /etc/rc.local
echo "modprobe -r ndiswrapper" >> /etc/rc.local
echo "modprobe ndiswrapper" >> /etc/rc.local
echo "modprobe ssb" >> /etc/rc.local
echo "modprobe b44" >> /etc/rc.local

echo "Its done, Reboot machine now ::"

This is a rough script. You can modify it, add echo commands, a few checks/contorls to abort execution if anything goes wrong.
