Debian :: BCM4312 Wireless Card Installed But Not Working

Jun 4, 2010

I have a Dell Vostro 1500 that has a Broadcom BCM4312 wireless card installed. I do not have access to a wired connection to the web so any thing I have to install is a download on my windows machine and then transfer that to the debian machine. I just finished installing Debian Squeeze but can not get my wireless card to scan for any networks. I found a tutorial at [URL] and followed the steps there. Finding all the dependances and installing them one by one (took me all day). My wireless card still will not scan for networks. After doing a 'sudo ifconfig eth1 up' it still will not scan for networks.

Output from ifconfig:
raygo75@RayGo-2:~$ sudo ifconfig
eth1
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:44:9b:e9:cc
inet6 addr: fe80::216:44ff:fe9b:e9cc/64 Scope:Link

How do I get around this? It wants to get something from [URL] and I do not have internet access. It looks to me like it just wants to download the wl dirver, again, which I have done in the previous instructions I found. I am a retired UNIX (hp-unix) administrator so I know my way around the system.

Fedora Networking :: Cannot Get BCM4312 Wireless Card Working

Apr 9, 2010

I recently purchased an Acer eMachines E525 laptop, and currently have it dual booting Windows 7 and Fedora 12 x86_64 with the 2.6.31.5-127 kernel. I've been completely unable to get the wireless card working in Fedora (it works fine in windows).

lspci lists the following about the wireless card:
Code:
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
so I assume it's a BCM4312.

So far I have tried downloading the driver from [URL] and then trying to install it according to the accompanying readme file: [URL]. However, when I try to make the driver, I get the following message:

Code:
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32.10-90.fc12.x86_64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
The Readme says that if I get this kind of error, I need to install the "kernel-devel" package, but I have this installed and it still returns the same error.

I have also tried following the fw-cutter instructions for fedora from [URL], but it still doesn't work. I realise there's the option of using ndiswrapper, but I gave that a shot with Fedora 11 on the same machine and had no luck, and I'd really like to see whether any of the other options work before going down that route.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Broadcom BCM4312 Working 1 Tries Out Of 10?

Apr 18, 2011

I have installed b43 with the install script and I can see all wireless networks fine, but NetworkManager just keeps asking me for the WPA passphrase, despite it being correct. I tried disabling WPA on the router, but then the connection hangs at "Configuring interface" instad. I also tried with ifup, but I'm not sure I configured everything correctly. I don't get any smarter from the NetworkManager logs, maybe someone else can decipher them? tail -50 when connection doesn't work:

Code:
Apr 18 17:00:11 jan NetworkManager[1291]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) complete.
Apr 18 17:00:11 jan NetworkManager[1291]: <info> Config: set interface ap_scan to 1

Ubuntu Networking :: Broadcom BCM4312 Dell Studio - Built In Wireless Card - 'disabled' And No Longer Works

Jun 10, 2010

I recently installed Ubuntu x64 on my dell studio 1535 using the windows installer (wubi).

All seems to be working fine apart from the built in wireless card, the proprietary driver (found in hardware drivers) installs and activates successfully and works perfectly. Until I shut down or restart the system. On the next boot the wireless card is 'disabled' and no longer works.

The card I have is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g

I am going to try a proper install on a second partition rather than using wubi later on but wondered if this was a commonly occuring problem?

The wireless card works as soon as the driver installs, however I am shown a "restart to activate driver" message and after restarting it's dead.

Debian :: BCMxx - Wireless Isn't Working - NetworkManager Doesn't Even Detect A Wireless Card

Jul 14, 2010

I just got myself a Dell Inspiron 1440. And decided to install my favorite distro Debian. I got the installation to go with no issue and all seems to be working fine. However the wireless isn't working. NetworkManager doesnt even detect a wireless card. I followed the instructions here and installed the b43-fwcutter and then issued the modprobe b43 and modprobe b43legacy commands. Then I issued the iwconfig command and this was the output.

[Code].....

Also, I've been doing some research and found out about some file located /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. So I looked in mine and found out that only my eth0 is added.

Debian Hardware :: Wireless Card - FWCutter Not Working?

May 15, 2010

I am pretty new to Linux still. I have a desktop I'm trying to set up as a Linux machine. I'm apparently running a testing version of squeeze (I was running lenny I thought too many updates?). Anyway, I've been trying various things all night to try to get my wireless card to work. The system tells me I have a Broadcom BCM4318. When I run dmesg I get this:

[ 496.640869] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to [URL] and download the latest firmware (version 4).
[ 619.374662] input: b43-phy0 as /class/input/input25

[ 619.416638] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load failed.

Over and over. When I head to the website, it tells me to run b43-fwcutter. I've tried installing that and it says it installs fine but nothing ever changes. Everything I've found says that should work so I can't really find any suggestions for what to do if it doesn't.

Debian Hardware :: RT2860 Wireless Card Not Working

Jun 1, 2011

I just installed Debian after I became fed up with Ubuntu. I'm trying to get my wireless card to work so I can move my computer back to it's proper place. Right now I have to put it right next to the router so the Ethernet cable can reach. Anyways, I've had trouble with this card before, so I did a quick google search. I found this: [URL]. I followed the instructions, and the thing at the top of the panel shows a list of wireless networks. When I try to connect to mine, it asks me for authentication. When I give it authentication, it idles for a while before asking me again.

Here's some system information:
uname -a
Linux max-pc 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 23:13:22 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
lsmod | grep rt2860sta
rt2860sta 454573 1
crc_ccitt 1323 1 rt2860sta .....

From what I recall, when I used Ubuntu it was called ra0. Could this have something to do with it?

Hardware :: Wireless Card Not Installed In Lubuntu Even After Windows Driver / Get It?

Aug 13, 2010

I have installed Lubuntu on my dell Latitude C400. Recently I had Unbuntu, but my system was to slow for it. The wireless worked when I installed sl-modem-daemon_2.9.11~20100303-2_i386.deb, however this does not work with Lubuntu. I have used the ndiswrapper to install a driver from windows, and still it is not installed.
After iwconfig i get

The other problem is this laptop has no cd dive and the ethernet connection does not work, so I can t do updates.

Ubuntu Networking :: Mobile Broadband With BCM4312 Integrated Card

Jul 5, 2010

Here are my Specs:
Netbook: HP Mini 210-1012EZ
Network Card: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01
Ubuntu: 10.04 Netbook Remix
CPU: 32Bit

Wired and Wireless Networks work perfectly the only issue is the Mobile Broadband. When I try to setup my Mobile Broadband connection manualy using the Network Connections Manager the device drop-down is grayed out and it doesn't seem like my network card is being recognized as a Mobile Broadband Card. When I had Windows 7 installed and started ubuntu over a USB Drive the connection worked great. I've followed the steps at [URL] too and it all checked out.

I found another idea in a thread here and I've tried that too:
I added the following line to my /etc/modules:
echo b43 | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
I've also tried using the Broadcom STA drivers that ubuntu offers but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Card Recognized By Install CD But Not After Server Installed

Dec 26, 2010

I'm working with 10.10 (Maverick) on an older Compaq laptop. Wireless card is a Cisco Aironet 350. This card is listed as supported and drivers included in the server distro.

During the Network configuration portion of the install, I selected eth1 (wireless); the card came active and a valid network connection was established.

However, after the full server installation the interface (eth1) is not seen.

What's confusing is that modprobe -l shows the drivers as present:

kernel/drivers/net/wireless/airo.ko
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/airo_cs.ko

Insertion and removal of the card is noted in /var/log/messages:

pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1 pccard: card ejected from slot 1
pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1 pccard: card inserted into slot 1

(I'd be happy to supply more info, but currently set up with Fluxbox and I'll be darned if I can get copy from the xterm to paste into Firefox...)

OpenSUSE Wireless :: BCM4312 Disabled WLAN On 11.3

Sep 12, 2010

I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 with disabled WLAN (otherwise the installation process didn't start). Now the system boots only in Safe Mode with enabled WLAN card (when the WLAN card is disabled it also boots in normal mode though). But even if I try to configure the WLAN card in Safe Mode, the system doesn't boot next time (in Safe Mode) until I add "brokenmodules=ssb" parameter. As I understand after reading this forum I should install a firmware/driver, but there is no install_bcm43xx_firmware script in /usr/sbin directory.

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Get USB Wireless Installed/working In 9.10

Jan 10, 2010

I've bought an RALINK getnet Wireless USB adapter and am trying to get it to work on a dual boot pc running XP and 9.10. According to the forums and the manufacturers website (www.getnet.com.tw), this should be supported in Linux.

Using the disk that came with it, I have gotten it to work in Windows. I've spent nearly a day scouring the Ubuntu forums and trying different things, but still haven't got it working in 9.10. (I think that most of my confusion is that many of the threads are for earlier versions)

If I type "iwconfig", I get this:

Code:
graeme@graeme-desktop:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

[Code].....

I have the CD that has a LINUX directory, but am not sure what to do with it. Through other threads I have determined that my drivers are rt2870.sys and .inf and have downloaded these. I'm not really sure what to do with them next..... Many threads talk about going System>Administration>Networking, but I don't have this as an option. I have however got an option which I downloaded called "Windows Wireless Drivers" which seemed to let me load the rt2870.inf driver, but then says "No" after it (not very helpful).

I have enabled Wireless Networking, and added my SSID etc etc, but I still don't connect.
