......... now ok. I found this solution on the ubuntu forum: Having trouble w/ Broadcom on Hardy? Give this a shot Hi Everyone:
In an effort to get an idea how a new driver that is being introduced to hardy is working out, I'd like to make a small call for testing. This driver is being introduced in hardy, but the GUI to enable it in Jockey is not yet ready. It should support recent Broadcom A/B/G/N adapters. As advertised on their site, this means the 4311, 4312, 4321,and 4322 adapters. http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php Older adapters may be enabled as well, but this is awaiting verification. If you are having trouble w/ b43, or trouble with ndiswrapper please give this a shot. The more feedback, the better. To enable it: 1) Create a blacklist file, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43. In this file, have these contents: Code: blacklist b43 blacklist ssb blacklist b43legacy 2) Deactivate any ndiswrapper installed drivers. There should be a remove option for ndiswrapper. 3) Update your initramfs Code: sudo update-initramfs -u 4) Activate Hardy proposed. Select System->Administration->Software sources. Check the box for proposed updates. Hit close and let it refresh. 5) Open up Synaptic. Search for the package entitled "linux" and mark it for update. This should also automatically mark linux- image-2.6.24-20-generic, linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-20, and linux- restricted-modules-2.6.24. Perform the updates. 6) Deactivate hardy proposed. Uncheck that box from Software sources. Let it reload the sources. You don't need any of the other updates, and you don't want to risk stability of your system. 7) Reboot Things should work on this next boot. Please report back some feedback. To be consistent and have good data, please be sure to post the following information with your posts: * uname -a * lspci -vv -nn * dpkg -l | grep linux-restricted The GUI to activate isn't ready, and this won't be copied over to hardy- updates until ready, so this is more of an early look for support to see how things are working. -------- If this doesn't work for you and you want to revert back, follow these steps. 1) Boot into the old kernel. At the screen "PRESS ESC to open boot menu", press escape. select your old kernel. 2) Open up synaptic. Remove linux-image-2.6.24-20-generic 3) Remove /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43 Code: sudo rm -rf /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43 4) Update your initramfs Code: sudo update-initramfs -u Last edited by superm1; 23 Hours Ago at 10:36 AM. -- Broadcom B43 wireless doesn't work in 8.04 worked in 7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219775 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
