[Bug 1463845] Re: Regression: no wifi in macbook pro 11,1
Seth, Thanks for your comments. I am running 3.13.0-61 and there is no wireless driver installed at all. The "Additional Drivers" application lists the bcmwl driver as in use, but when I run "dkms status" it lists the wl driver as installed for other kernels but not for the current one. Then I tried removing the package "bcmwl-kernel-source" and reinstalling it, with apt-get, and that worked after I installed the header files for the current kernel with "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)". Upon reinstallation of bcmwl-kernel-source, the wifi came up by itself. In retrospect it all makes sense considering that the package must be built from source. What is surprising is that the bcmwl-kernel-source package doesn't depend on the current kernel's package. I guess it can't because it would depend on all kernel's sources. In summary, to make the wifi work by reinstalling the wl driver for the current kernel: $ sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) $ sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source Thanks a lot for your help! Got me in the right direction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463845 Title: Regression: no wifi in macbook pro 11,1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1463845/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1463845] Re: Regression: no wifi in macbook pro 11,1
You're using the wl driver for wireless, which is separate from the kernel and needs to be rebuilt for each new kernel version. Your logs show that the module isn't loaded. Sometimes a change in a kernel update will cause the build to fail, but I just installed against 3.13.0-53.89 and didn't see any build problems. A couple basic things you could try are loading the module manually (sudo modprobe wl) and running 'dkms status' and seeing what it says for the kernel you're having problems with; if the status isn't "installed" then there may be errors in /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl//3.13.0-53-generic/x86_64/log/make.log which may help explain what's wrong. ** Also affects: bcmwl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463845 Title: Regression: no wifi in macbook pro 11,1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1463845/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for your feedback. I've tested 3.19.2-vivid-ctk and wifi works there, but when I attempted to switch off wifi the laptop froze. Would you count this as a "yes it works"? Is testing 4.1 a sensible operation on a 14.04 LTS? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463845 Title: Regression: no wifi in macbook pro 11,1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1463845/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.1 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.
