Hello, I updated my Kubuntu and I still have problems with BCM4318 driver. Unfortunately I can not install any newer Ubuntu as my old notebook Amilo 8010 always freezes during booting of the live CD.
Can somebody know, what is wrong ? I have following system: $ uname -a Linux malamys-laptop 2.6.32-41-generic #89-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 27 22:22:09 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux $ lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 06:04.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02) $ lsmod | grep b43 b43 163556 0 mac80211 205434 1 b43 cfg80211 126528 2 b43,mac80211 ssb 38934 1 b43 led_class 2864 2 b43,sdhci excerpt of /var/log/messages Jun 5 22:39:26 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.708196] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found (core revision 9) Jun 5 22:39:26 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.718799] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/i nput4 Jun 5 22:39:26 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.747484] type=1505 audit(1338928766.914:11): operation="profile_load" pid=684 name= "/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" Jun 5 22:39:26 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.755714] r8169: eth0: link down Jun 5 22:39:26 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.755990] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready Jun 5 22:39:26 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.808940] Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.14 Jun 5 22:39:26 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.808946] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.857917] Registered led device: b43-phy0::tx Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.857939] Registered led device: b43-phy0::rx Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.857959] Registered led device: b43-phy0::radio Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.858059] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PL, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 28.930469] [drm] initialized overlay support Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 29.129631] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 29.129636] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 29.152076] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/ucode5.fw Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 29.182309] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/pcm5.fw Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 29.190748] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0initvals5.fw Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 29.196865] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0bsinitvals5.fw Jun 5 22:39:27 malamys-laptop kernel: [ 29.259129] pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: cs: IO port probe 0x100-0x3af: clean.
