Ubuntu Networking :: No Wireless In 10.4 - Can't Install Proprietary Drivers
Apr 30, 2010Just upgraded to Lucid from Karmic. First thing I notice after restart is that I have no wireless. No big deal, I probably just need to re-install the proprietary drivers. I go to do this, and it gives me an error message, saying that the installation has failed. This has never happened before, and didn't happen when I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic. I have an HP dv6 1230us and a Broadcom STA card.
I really need the internet to be working, and didn't anticipate that an upgrade, of all things, would screw it up...
Ubuntu Networking :: Cannot Install Proprietary Wireless Drivers
Dec 20, 2010I just re-installed Ubuntu 10.04 and was trying to install the Broadcom STA wireless driver. It worked for me before with no problems, but now when I try to install any proprietary driver (using System >>Administration >>Hardware Drivers) I get an error message that says: "You are not authorized to perform this action". I am the only user and I have administrator privileges, so I do not know why I am getting this.

Mar 5, 2011I really want to drop Windows, but wireless connectivity and frequent crashes are really discouraging me. I have a dual-boot W XP with Ubuntu 10.10. I do not have the computer on, so I'm writing this from my weak memory
USB Adapter - Netgear WNDA3100-100NAS = v2
The adapter works under W XP with no problems
The router, Linksys WRT54G sees the adapter in the dhcp table
lsusb lists the adapter.
I have copied the drivers from the install CD onto the desktop. I cannot figure out how to install or access those drivers for the installation. I tried to install the ndiswrapper from the software center, but the center shows it's available from the "main" source. I've looked in the package manager, but can't find it. When I go into terminal, and enter one of the suggested commands in the forums, it can't be located. I have a Belkin F5D8010 installed on this computer, and it works great under W XP. I want to try to get this installed, but until I can figure out installation of the ndiswrapper and how to access it, and get the drivers recognized, I'm at a standstill.
Ubuntu Networking :: Install Drivers For Wireless Or Ethernet Without Make?
May 12, 2011I absolutely love Lubuntu on VirtualBox. I installed it to my Compaq Mini CQ-10 without issue. However, there are no drivers for the Wireless or the NIC. Ok, so I go to Broadcom and download the drivers. But, when I try to install with the Makefile, Terminal tells me that make is not installed! Now, how do I install my drivers without make?

Oct 12, 2010When I download the drivers for my Broadcom card (BCM-4312), I get this error message:

Is there any way to fix it, or should I post to launchpad about a bug? I have 10.10. Update: When I install from the Ubuntu Software Center, it completes successfully, but I get this error message: installArchives() failed: Selecting previously deselected package glines.

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Download New Drivers With Non-working Wireless Drivers?
Jun 27, 2010I've installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 on my HP DV2000 laptop and now I want to get my wireless to work by installing the proprietary broadcom drivers (4311, I think). But my internet doesn't work yet obviously, so I need to download the drivers to my thumb drive on my desktop and install them on my non-networked laptop.My issue is that I don't know:a) Where to get the driversb) How to install them from a local drive

Nov 24, 2010I recently reformatted and dual partitioned to both Windows 7 as well as ubuntu 10.10. Loading works fine and Windows 7 is 100% operational. I cannot seem to get my wireless network adapter to be read by Ubuntus 'Windows Wireless Drivers' gui. Here are the steps that I have done THUS far, to make sure that we are all on the right path. Before I go any further, my wireless network adapter is an old school WUSB11 Linksys Wireless Network Adapter (running version 2.6).
1) Downloaded and installed "ndiswrapper" from ubuntu's main website. I downloaded the common, utils and ndisgtk files and installed them accordingly.
2) I extracted these three files to the desktop of Ubuntu and accessed the terminal page.
3) From terminal I typed "cd Desktop" to change the directory to the desktop.
4) Next, I typed in "Sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-common_1.54-2ubuntu1_all.deb
Sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.54-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
Sudo dpkg -i ndisgtk_0.8.5-1_i386.deb"
5) This installed Windows Wireless Drivers gui successfully and I can access it.
6) I have downloaded the driver files for the adapter from the cisco website and searched them for the required files needed.
7) After extracting the .INF file from the "Drivers" directory named "NETUSB.SYS" (I wasn't sure if the other associated files within the same folder needed to be present together with NETUSB so I moved everything to the desktop) I typed in "sudo ndiswrapper -i NETUSB.inf". After accessing the Windows Wireless Drivers gui I have noticed that the 'netusb' driver is present yet under it, the system states "Hardware present: No". This leads me to believe that maybe I installed incorrectly or my "fireware?" is not present? I was reading through the installation guide posted on the ubuntu website that in addition to the .INF file we also need the BIN file(s)? and SYS file(s)?.. The folder with the drivers for my adapter contains a BIN file but it is not within the "Drivers" section of the folder.
9) Upon mousing over the network Icon naturally my hardware is still not present.
10) From what I gather after the system finds the hardware I am to write into the terminal

Feb 24, 2010I'm booting from disc on a compaq presario F700. Somehow, I messed everything up and now it's not reading that I have an OS. Which was previously vista. Now, when I boot from disc and try to install no partitions come up. I did open the blasted thing to clean it not too long but as far as I know, nothing dislodged. It is a laptop, btw. So, my kneejerk reaction is that the hard-drive got damaged or knocked loose. I also tried using kill-drive to erase it so I could start fresh, also no Hard drive detected. So, I'm going to try that. In the meantime I have another issue. When booting from disc I can't seem to get the drivers for my wireless adapter to install. I have them. Madwifi for AR5001X but I don't know where to put them via terminal.

Dec 23, 2010When using the b43-pci-bridge driver for my broadcom card I can't get the wireless to work while if I use the wl driver it does. This is the only problem that I have that I can't use the wl because it doesn't allow me to change the mode of the card to monitor where as the b43 is compatible with mode change as well as with aircrack.
This is what lspci -nnk shows:

View 9 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Need GCC To Install Wireless Drivers In F14?
Mar 7, 2011I'm using Fedora 14 (standard Gnome desktop) on a x86_64, GCC is not pre-installed. It's from a physical DVD installation, not a live installation. As I need GCC to install my wireless drivers, I have no internet access right now and can't use
Code:
# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
or
#yum install gcc gcc-c++
or any other yum commands.
My next course of action was to try to call GCC by name, but when searching for it in the terminal, all I get is:
Code:
bash: find/: No such file or directory
Although the Add/Remove Software utility recognizes that I have GCC and all other standard compilers (but does not install them for some reason). So I think, okay, no problem, I'll just download the .rpm and other dependencies from a different computer and add them to my machine with a flash drive since I can't find them within my own OS.
I got gcc-4.5-1-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm, then these additional files as outlined in the error message:
Code:
error: Failed dependencies:
binutils >= 2.20.51.0.2-12
cloog-ppl >= 0.15
cpp = 4.5.1-4.fc14
gliibc-devel >= 2.2.90-12
libmpc.so.2 ()(64bit)
I get as far as installing the cloog binaries before I start getting long lists of failed dependencies, like so:
Code:
# rpm -Uvh cloog-ppl-0.15.7-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
warning: cloog-ppl-0.15.7.2.fc14.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 97a1071f: NOKEY

libppl_c.so.2 ()(64bit) is needed by cloog-ppl-0.15.7-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
I go on adding missing dependencies, the next one being libppl.so.7, but
Code:

I feel like I'm in an infinite loop of failed dependencies. Basically what I want to know, is there a much easier way of doing this that I'm missing? Or should I just tough it out and rpm -Uvh all these lib binaries?

Jun 30, 2010No wireless networks can be recognized in Ubuntu, and now after several attempted fixes, my wireless toggle button won't switch from orange to blue. My wireless card is Atheros AR5001. I posted in the absolute beginners forum, but I've played around so much that I think I can move on to this one I'm so sorry if posting another thread is bad etiquette, but I need to have wireless access by Friday morning, and am slightly desperate.
Attempted fixes: First, I installed the backport modules using Synaptic. Then, I installed the madwifi driver. After those failed, I used ndiswrapper to install the Windows driver (linked from the ndiswrapper page). I made sure to disable the madwifi driver and restart first. My output all looks normal--I blacklisted everything mentioned in google searches. Here is the current output of ndiswrapper -l:

Sep 1, 2011I just recently purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad e520 and I'm wanting to put Ubuntu 11.04 on it. I downloaded the 64bit iso and burned it to a thumb-drive, just before booting the thumb-drive. I have not yet installed Ubuntu, but rather I'm still running it from a thumb-drive. I want to make sure everything will work fine, before installing it permanently.
However, it doesn't appear as if any drivers for my wireless card were loaded, as I can't view the available wireless networks. I successfully installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop several months ago and I haven't booted into Windows since, -not one time. Therefore, I'm hoping to have my new laptop run Ubuntu as well.

(the wireless led on my thinkpad does not light up).
