Ubuntu :: Connecting To A Nettwork-Broadcom 4321AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi?
Oct 30, 2010
I'm a newbie here and also a newbie with linux - got it for 3 or 4 days, got sick of W$ Vista (how could I put up working on Vista for about a year - I don't know...). Anyway - I'm using HP TX1300 with Broadcom 4321AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi Adapter, I managed to install drivers and stuff, and get the wireless network working. I had to shut down my computer and after reboot I cannot connect to wireless network. System "sees" the network, but cannot connect. I checked if the chosen security standards are matching those set on my router. (sorry if I made some mistakes in this post, i'm actually from Poland)
[edited] I noticed, that if after boot the wireless is named "eth1" (ethernet connection has name "eth0") then it works, but if it's loaded as "wlan0" then it cannot connect to the network. WLAN passkey is correct, as well as the security settings.

I was running 9.10 in LiveCD mode and was unable to get online. Went to System>Administration>Hardware Drives and found "Broadcom STA wireless driver". Cool. So I went ahead and installed 9.10 (dual boot with Vista), repeated above steps but found no "Broadcom STA wireless driver" option, in fact no proprietary drivers. So I still cannot connect to the Internet, and I don't know where to go from here. (Note: I installed 9.10 side by side with Vista: good? bad?)

Got up this morning and switched on theLinux Box and started getting wifi connect problems. I could work for about 5 mins then it would start searching and asking me to confirm to connect to my network.After some time NM kept on asking all the time to confirm the network and key.I reset the router and check to see if other PCs were OK and a Windoze & Linux laptops were fine, no problem there so it's not the routerd.I'm wondering if the broadcomm card is starting to fail as it heats up or could it be a corrupt file or parametersNo updates have been done in the last month, it just started today. Here are the results from the log and dmesg:
[root@mylinux ~]# dmesg | grep b43
b43-pci-bridge 0000:05:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
b43-phy0: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found

I've been trying to troubleshoot this myself for the past couple of days, but to no avail so I have come in search of help.
I have a PCI wireless card, it's a Broadcom device using the BCM4306 chipset. I'm running the b43 drivers which were installed using fwcutter.
At my last place the card worked perfectly. There it was connected to an unencrypted network. I've recently moved places and it just refuses to connect to the new network here. The router is set up with a 64-bit WEP key. In Ubuntu, network manager sees the access point and prompts my to enter the password but will not connect, instead continually asking for the login. I have tried using wicd instead of network manager, and that just throws up a "bad password" error.
Signal strength to the access point isn't great, around 50% usually, however the same card connects and works perfectly when I'm booted into Windows Vista. Unfortunately I can't do anything to change the router's configuration and using a cable is not possible.

I seem to be have issues periodically connecting to wireless networks with WPA. It'll work one minute, and then I switch my macbook back on after a period and it refuses to connect again. It's happened on and off on three different networks now.
An example of /var/log/syslog:
Code:

today I installed Opensuse 11.3 on my new laptop, a Samsung R540. Initially I got my Logitech bluetooth mouse working because I hate the touch pad, then I got the wireless network working by upgrading the kernel with the broadcom-wl package at which point the Logitech bluetooth mouse stopped working. I am able to detect the mouse when I go to add new devices using the gnome-bluetooth applet but it times out when it tries to connect.

i just got ubuntu yesterday and had to play around with some settings and the fw-cutter tool to get my wireless working and it was...although i upgraded the kernel to 2.6.32-25-eneric...and it stopped working. the simple solution is to use the previous kernelersion...the wireless works there, but thats just not good enough for me ... it recognizes my card is there it just wont connect. originally i was using b43 driver and now it does not show in the system>hardware drivers list only the sta driver does, although when i try to install and activate it i get the error message "sorry, installation of this driver failed.please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log"

I have an Acer Aspire 2930Z notebook, and have a wireless network problem. When I installed Ubuntu 11.04 everything worked out of the box and I was extremely happy, but now that I have some other notebooks around I noticed that transferring files to the Acer Aspire 2930Z notebook did take a bit longer...
So after some digging I found out that the 2930Z only connects in the IEEE 802.11b/g range (max. 54mbit), while the specifications of Acer clearly specify that it also supports IEEE 802.11-Draft-N.
When I run MS Windows XP on the notebook I have no problem connecting at the Draft-N speed.When I run lspci -v | less I see. 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
The driver Ubuntu installs is clearly the correct one, so before I pull my hair what I'm I doing wrong?

I was used to have a draft (fast, economic) printing mode under PCLinuxOS.
Printing and scanning works with my EPSON SX230 as well in Wheezy as in Jessie, but I am missing that mode.
Should be somewhere here .... [URL] .....

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and its great. However when I connect to the internet at home it shows that the connection has been established but I still cant connect to the internet. My flatmates are all able to connect. However, I am able to connect from work both wirelessly and through an ethernet cable.

Ubuntu seems to think my device is disabled. The switch is on and the blue light next to the switch is also on. I read up on this on other threads, but the solution involved using the cd. I had to install from windows using the iso and alcohol 120 because my cddrive is totally dead.

How can I make sure that of the g and n frequencies that my router is broadcasting, wicd is connecting to the n? My bcm4322 chip supports n, and can connect to an n-only network. A speed test may prove one over th other, depending on the overall speed, but is there a more exact way of knowing?

System-->Admin-->Hardware Drivers States my STA driver is activated, but not in use... ug. having so many wireless issues with 10.04 i've been pulling my hair out for a week now. I assume this is why it says my network UNCLAIMED as well.

The Linux-phc kernel, available here, for 10.04, used to work fine for me, but starting awhile ago, it broke the wifi. I can't enable the broadcom driver, it says, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log

As you might have noticed the new broadcom driver in 11.04 is not working anymore, but you can use the old one from 10.10 if you follow these steps:
1. First you need to download the old broadcom driver (10.10) here:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...untu5_i386.deb
2. Now it's time to delete the current driver:
open the console:
sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status
search for "bcmwl-kernel-source" and delete the lines that are related to the driver.
3. Install the driver you have downloaded before by double-clicking the .deb file
4. Go to the Synpatic-Package-Manager and search for "bcmwl-kernel-source" again. Click on on it and go to "package" and make sure you lock it, so it won't be updated.

Has anyone heard of this Ubuntu Tweak program? Is it safe? Its for changing login screens and customizing that kind of stuff. how do i get the firmware for broadcom wireless? Its not in the "additional drivers" like it was in v. 10.10. Im running Ubuntu 11.04 but using Ubuntu Classic on boot (dont care for the new style that much) 1.7ghz Intel Gateway, only 512 mb of RAM

I'm sure you've seen this question before -- I tried searching but I can't find a clear answer. All I need is to get my wifi up and running in Ubuntu 10.04. I'm currently double-booted with XP on a Dell Latitude E5400 laptop. I'm in Windows right now. I can't post my lpsci readout because I can't access the internet from Ubuntu -- no access to wired connection.
I worked on this problem for a long time last night and fixed it somehow by installing a driver program -- it had "cutter" in the name. Today, however, I try to log in and Ubuntu won't connect to an open wifi point. Boot #1 it recognized it but wouldn't connect. Boot #2 it wouldn't recognize it at all (said "wireless is disabled" even though it wasn't. Boot #3 it would recognize the wifi point but wouldn't connect.) I can mantain a constant connection to this wifi in Windows XP and also on my Android phone.
I just want someone to please tell me how to get my wifi working reliably. I'm excited to switch over to Ubuntu, all I need is for the wifi to work. My wifi card is a Broadcom 43xx (4312?). Something like that.

The card uses a momentary switch to turn on at and off and it doesn't work. I read that there is a way to have the card turn on by default on boot but I can't figure out how to do it.

Basically a few weeks ago I decided to try Linux, in particular Ubuntu. I have it installed in my Windows 7 partition but now I am willing to take the full plunge and switch to it all the way. The only issue is I cannot connect to wireless internet. It states "device not ready". Wireless is turned on on my laptop, I am very near the source, have tried making a manual connection with the network setup. I tried the hardware tester and it found my ethernet and wireless hardware (Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter).
I went to the package thing and looked for Broadcam. I found a package but it was already installed. I tried it manually with:
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-modaliases
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
I then heard to try "sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter" and did but it couldnt find it.As stated before I am new to linux so I'm probably missing something easy I just beg your patiance as I learn this new operating system.

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?

After some serious trouble with Plasma, I decided to re-install 9.10. When booting up, I noticed that the wireless indicator light stayed on orange which usually means that the driver is not loaded.
I have a Broadcom 4312 in a HP Pavilion dv6. I checked the repository but no driver shows up. I seem to remember that it used to be there. Or am I mistaken and do I need to install the vendor driver from the Broadcom site?
I've added the output of lspci and dmesg | gre b43

I have problems with my Broadcom BCM4306 (rev 03) on my HP nx6110ng Karmic.NetworkManager does not list any AP, even if there should be some. It did work for some days without problems, but suddenly stopped working. I made a kernel update with the update manager, but I am not sure if this caused the probem (I also used the wired connection, so I don't exaclty know when wireless stopped working). Reinstalling fwcutter wasn't successful. So I tried as suggested in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...oadcom_BCM4306 and added the following lines to /etc/rc.local
modprobe -r b43 b44 ssb
modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip
modprobe b44

I was away from Ubuntu for a long time - since the breezy badger days. Anyway I'm trying to get back, I tried installing 9.4, it failed miserably; both standard and alternative. 10.4 installed fine, but I'm having trouble with wirless. Long story short network is disabled. No wireless networks show up. B43 driver is installed and the pci wireless is communicating with Kernel. I would copy paste, but I have no access to internet on that computer. Also 'sudo apt=get' is not beneficial when you have no internet. I'm happy to transfer from packages.ubuntu though. Left clicking and disabling /reenabling has left me with device not ready, and a driver warning to get B43 driver. I had that already but I guess I'm going backwards now.

I've got a Dell Inspiron mini 10 that has the Broadcom 4322 wireless chipset in it. I have NEVER got this thing to work satisfactorily despite the numerous tutorials online about getting this damned card to work. I thought everything would finally be fixed with 10.04 but no luck at all. I've tried the b43 diver (which isn't supposed to support the 4322) with no luck.
I also tried the restricted STA driver, which seems like it will work as it identifies networks and even connects to them! However, the speed is excruciatingly slow and connections drop like flies. This netbook is actually a friends that I convinced to let me put Ubuntu on and have them try it out, but they are most surely not going to be impressed if the wireless never works.

I decided to use the STA wireless driver in my Ubuntu 10.04, and my connection actually became faster! Only problem is that it keeps on asking for my wifi password. I didn't have this kind of problem when I was using the b43 wireless driver - it just automatically connects everytime I reboot. how I can make my laptop stop asking for my password everytime I reboot?

I am using a broadcom modem. After failing to connect it, I decided to use an NDISWRAPPER, but it needs a drive I cannot find: I believe it is bcm4312.inf. Finding drivers is not that difficult to find; but finding this particular one in .inf format has been difficult. Is there any forum (this?) where I could request such a drive?
