View 1 RepliesIt has been haunting me for weeks and I haven't been able to fix it so far: When I installed the wireless driver 43XX series on my laptop using a wired internet, I saw the wireless network for a while and after I rebooted my system, My kernel(31) got corrupted and I got error "kernel Panic (and some sync error)",Thus I started using an older kernel(14),Now When I install wireless driver or mobile broadband driver(wvdial), they get vanished after the reboot and my mobile device modem isn't detected.But they are installed in my system(as shown by synaptic package manager but doesn't seemt to work) I desperately want to use mobile broadband.

I've recently installed the new LTS, but my wireless doesn't work on it. Since my adaptor works on my machine under 9.10, I can only assume this is down to a lack of driver for my adaptor within 10.04.
Would it be feasible to find the driver within the 9.10 system for my adaptor and install it onto my 10.04 system? If it is, fantastic! How would I go about doing such a thing?
It's my first time trying out a Linux and everything is going great except for my networking. I just recently purchased a wireless usb adapter 802.11n and I tried to install the driver from the cd it came with, but when I read the readme file it said it only supports up to kernel versions 2.6.18 ~ 2.6.29. Since I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 my kernel type is 2.6.32.25. Does anyone know if there are any updated versions of similar drivers online? or do I have to return this wireless adapter and get a different one?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIm using HP mini with Broadcom wireless chipset. Currently STA drivers are installed and working, however i want to install alternative wireless driver (b43-fwcutter) to be able to enter monitor mode (which this driver is capable of) for using it in wireshark and kismet.
Now, jockey-gtk isn't listing it although i installed it using 'sudo apt-get install b43-ffwcutter'. Why is that?
here is the output of sudo jockey-gtk -l kmod:wl - Broadcom STA wireless driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use)
i also tried sudo jockey-gtk -u (for updating driver databse but got same query)
I have a Netgear WNA-1000 that I can't get recognized on any of my Ubuntu boxes (8.10, 9.04, 9.10). This page says that it should work with the ar9170usb driver, and that this driver is already part of the mainline Linux kernel as of 2.6.30. It also noted that ar9170usb does not claim this device's USB-ID at this time.
How do I (a) get this driver to recognize and work with my WNA-1000 under 9.10?
(b) get this driver installed and working under the older versions of Ubuntu that I also have?
I just deleted my windows XP and installed Ubuntu 9.10 earlier this morning. I used wired connection to get drivers for my wireless network card.
When I did lspci, the very last line states:
Network Controller: Broadcom Coporation BCM4311 902.11b/g WLAN(rev 01)
I used the System -> Administration -> Hardware Driver and found 2 drivers. I have tried them both to connect to my D-Link Router. Neither of which worked.
For Broadcom B43 Driver, the wireless is able to detect wireless networks. However, it fails to establish connection.
For Broadcom STA Driver, the wireless cannot even detect wireless networks available.
What is the issue here and how do I resolve it so that I am able to connect onto the internet wirelessly?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems with (no surprise) my Broadcom BCM4322 Network Adapter after a clean install of 9.10. I am just about tearing my hair out.
1. I downloaded Broadcom's provided Linux drivers. No joy.
2. I installed first the STA package, then b43-fwcutter. No joy.
3. I installed NDISwrapper, but cannot find the .inf file I need. Anyone? I dual boot with Vista, so I went into my Windows system and pulled a .inf file from the driver files there (bcmwl6.inf), but NDISwrapper said it was not valid. I have looked all over the web for a .inf driver file for this chipset but cannot seem to find anything (all I can find is .exe files).
I have the source code to create a wireless driver. This came with the cd for my adapter but i dont know what to do. btw while i'm in ubuntu i will not have a wired conection to the net seeing as my routers down stairs and i dont have a cable long enough to reach

Basically today (1st of june) about 1.30pm my computer updated. I was on facebook at the time and was commenting on a post but didn't click "Send message". My computer went onto screensaver, So I unlocked my computer to find my keyboard wasn't working (But it was ok on the password lock). I then thought that restarting my computer might help the keyboard to work. I restarted my computer and as it turned on, my wireless icon had an exclamation mark next to it ("!") I clicked on the icon to find that only "Wired network" was only displayed, Before the restart "Wireless network" was there but it had disappeared. I've looked into it, and it looks like my wireless driver has been unistalled by the most recent update on Ubuntu. As far as I remember the wireless driver was Broadcom for a hp pavillion zd8000.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded my linux wireless driver (realtek 8191se), but I don't know how to install it because there is no .exe file(like windows). It has a readme file which says :

1. Compile driver from the source code make
2. Install the driver to the kernel make install reboot"

After reading many forum topics I somehow managed to set up the connection.Now the only problem is that when I restart computer wireless connection is no longer working.

Otherwise the wireless connection is not working and under Broadcom STA wireless driver this message is written:

trying to get my little Encore USB wireless adapter to work on several flavors of Linux (Ubuntu 10,10, ElementOS, Xubuntu, and Puppy), I emailed tech support at Realtek. I asked where is the Linux driver for this product? I did this because there were no Linux drivers posted on their site and everyone here (and on Newegg) is jumping though hoops trying to get a working wireless connection with the Encore and similar dongles that use the RT8187b chipset. I didn't expect an answer, but felt better after my little vent. I get an email from Realtek with a driver. Realtek needs to promote Jerry -- a beacon of customer service in the age of the "get lost" school of customer relations. I have attached the driver below. Caveat: I have not yet compiled the driver, so I don't know much more about it than I've said already, although the archive appears to contain the source code.
