Now if you went through the driver installation without any major errors or issues, the next step would be to load the new module you created in the previous step. At the command line type <userinput>sudo modprobe bcm43xx</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. To see if the module loaded and is working, at the prompt type <userinput>iwconfig</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. If it works it should return the name of the interface as <acronym>ethX</acronym> where X is the number of the device. In most cases it may be <acronym>eth1</acronym> if you have a <acronym>CAT-5</acronym> Ethernet device already installed and configured. Also to test and see if your device can scan, at the command prompt type <userinput>sudo iwlist ethX scan</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. Don't worry if it reports <emphasis>no networks found</emphasis> as your connection may still be working. Test and see if you can connect to your network and the Internet. If everything has worked then you will want to add the module so it will load at boot. To do so, at the command prompt type <userinput>sudo sh -c "echo bcm43xx &gt;&gt; /etc/modules"</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>.
