Hi Christian;
For me the b43 installer in the repos does the trick. One must also
manually turn on the wifi with the Fn-key switch.

duplicates); and the real

This issue still exists with a fresh install of 12.04.3 and 13.10. The
default used driver is bcmwl but bcm4311 does not work with it.

Chris, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I only marked it
invalid in that one context. If the b43 driver works, then Ubuntu should
select that driver. That would make this a dupe of bug 1097519, which
states that the wrong driver is used for some chipsets. In one of the
comments I made
Well, silly me, I can't mark it as a duplicate in only one project. So
I'll mark it as Invalid in the Ubuntu project and these comments can

Adam, though I did not explain myself clearly, you saw through my

2. A certain driver (e.g. broadcom-sta) not working with a chipset it
claims to support. That would be a separate issue.
And I respectfully suggest you are correct in that
Chris, ok, I'm glad we're on the same page now.
My question now is whether this bug is obsolete. This bug was filed
about version 5.100.82.38 of the driver. That's no longer the current
version of the driver.
In Saucy we have:
bcmwl = 6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1
broadcom-sta = 5.100.82.112-11
Ah! I get your point about the bug title.
What if we think about this from the perspective of the desired outcome

After removing Ubuntu 10.10 and installing 11.04 on my HP 2133 i have troubles
with wi-fi. On 10.10 it's worked well, but now system goes to deep freeze just
after reporting about successful connection (only hardware shutdown could help).
I tried out
Same problem on a HP Presario C300...Disabled STA driver and made sure
b43 installed. After two reboots I could see wireless networks.
root@coenraad-Presario-C300-RL177UA-ABA:~# lspci | grep BCM4311
06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
Just a short note: Removing and blacklisting ssb/b44 is a actually not a
good solution as this will deactivate the wired network (Ethernet)
controller.
I just remotely logged into someone's laptop, trying to use that
workaround not paying attention that killing the b44 module would
actually kill
Just verified that the unload acer-wmi-workaround works on my machine
too

I resolved installing this packages from maverick:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/bcmwl-kernel-source
Remember to pinning this package to mantain this version in future
upgrades.

I have an Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820T, which has the BCM43225 chip (it uses
the same driver as the BCM4311). I had tried downgrading to the older
Broadcom 5.60 driver without success. However Giulio's workaround also works
for me. I need to remove the acer-wmi module or wi-fi just doesn't work,
Got the same problem.
Both with the actual bcmwl, the old version and also the firmware-b43-installer.
As soon as I try to turn the Wifi on it instantly gets turned off again
(on a Acer Travelmate TimelineX 8172T) which looks this in
/var/log/syslog

I have tried both solutions in posts #36 and #27 but no success. I have
a Dell Latitude D620 with Ubuntu 11.04 fresh install

Davide, do you have BCM4311? You can type lspci in the terminal to
see the exact version.

I have bcm4312.
I reinstalled ubuntu 10.10 since wireless and ssh tunneling were not
working, and with my laptop I need both (especially ssh tunneling with
vnc and unison to remotely work and synch with my office computer). I
will keep checking the status of the bugs and install natty when fixes
I have a BCM43225, which is not supported by b43 firmware, so I had to search
for another workaround.
I found that removing acer-wmi module (I've got a acer AspireOne 753) does make
wifi working (but, of course, kills the bluetooth module).
To the noobs, the command is: sudo modprobe -r acer-wmi
Hi! A downgrade to 5.60.48.36 works to me.
I removed the actual driver: sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
and I installed this file with 2 clicks:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/bcmwl-kernel-source/download
Best regards.

Giulio - It would appear that your issue with acer-wmi is a separate bug
to this one (which seems to be exclusively BCM4311).
Look at bug #771758 for a report identical to yours with a BCM43225,
though that is likely to become a duplicate of another...

Thanks, Gabriel. It's a much better solution. You can also lock the
version it in synaptic, so it doesn't update with the regular updates. I
think the driver should be reverted to the old version until this bug is
solved.

Has anyone yet tested Broadcom's recommended workaround for this
problem? That is forcefully removing and disabling the stubborn ssb
module? See previous comments #17, #14.
Also, reverting to 5.60.* might be a great workaround for this
particular bug however the newer driver 5.100.* works well on
Daniel, I tried what they suggested, but ssb still loads because it required by
b44- the driver for the ethernet.
As a workaround I use the b43 driver, which gets a weaker signal but works. I
will try to install the previous version of wl (sta) driver as suggested here.
