Yes, 'sudo lspci -v' will give us more details about the wireless device and the driver currently loaded in your system. I have samsung with Broadcom BCM4313 wireless device and I'm using kernel 3.2.0. Even after installing 'broadcom-sta-*' package (this is the package which will install 'wl' proprietary driver), wireless didn't come up. Here is what I did to fix the issue, $ sudo su # cat >/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf <<EOF > blacklist ssb > blacklist b43 > blacklist brcmsmac > blacklist bcma EOF # Most probably the kernel would have loaded 'b43' driver which is not working with latest Broadcom wireless devices. I hope yours is also Broadcom device. If not, this mail is not relative to the issue you are facing.
