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. As pointes out above the version numbers in the title may not be current; there are also many related bugs (although I disagree which are duplicates); and the real problem appears to be that whatever code decides which driver to use is jncorrect. Also, for awhile at least the non-working driver was causing the whole networking stack to crash though I think that is not the case in 13.10. For clarity I have an inspiron 1501 with the b43 driver running fine on the 4311 device. Chris Hermansen On 2013-10-30 9:26 PM, Christian S. 732...@bugs.launchpad.net wrote: What is the state here?

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 on that bug yesterday, I mentioned that some users have found success using broadcom-sta*, and some by using b43, and others by using brcmsmac. As I understand it now there are possibly two issues: 1. Ubuntu selecting the wrong driver upon install, as you mentioned. That's covered by bug 1097519. 2. A certain driver (e.g. broadcom-sta) not working with a chipset it claims to support. That would be a separate issue. So what I'm going to do now is: 1. In the Ubuntu project, mark this as a dupe of bug 1097519, because the working driver needs to be selected by Ubuntu. 2. In the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA driver project, mark this as incomplete. If I understand you to mean that the broadcom-sta driver doesn't work with some chipsets it claims to, then I guess you should mark this bug as New there. Please correct me if I'm wrong. :) ** Changed in: broadcom-sta Status: Invalid = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677 Title: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311/4312 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/broadcom-sta/+bug/732677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Adam, though I did not explain myself clearly, you saw through my confusion and hit upon my exact concern. You said: 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 assessment; and that separate issue is the subject of this particular bug report.

[Bug 732677] Re: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311/4312
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 In Raring we have: bcmwl = 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 broadcom-sta = 5.100.82.112-9 And in Precise we have: bcmwl = 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1 broadcom-sta = 5.100.82.112-4 And then there's the in-tree driver, which for at least some cards makes those packages obsolete, at least on some kernel versions. It seems to me that it still boils down to Ubuntu needing to install the proper driver. For example, if broadcom-sta_ 5.100.82.112-9 said it supported BCM4313, but BCM4313 worked with the in-tree driver, broadcom- sta shouldn't even be installed, regardless of whether BCM4313 worked with broadcom-sta. Or if a 5.100.82.38 of some package didn't work, but the newer version did, that should be fixed by the newer version. Now if there are some versions of some driver packages that don't properly work with some cards, that could result in two problems: 1. Users upgrading distro versions with a package could end up with a version of the package that doesn't work anymore (that happened to me). That's still a matter of Ubuntu choosing the correct package. 2. Users trying to manually choose a package, searching package descriptions, and choosing a package that happens to not work with their card. That's unfortunate and frustrating. But the only way to solve this is to comprehensively test all these different versions of all these different packages with all the different cards they claim to support, some of which might have subtle bugs with certain cards, and some of which seem to have regressions in newer versions. So if you want this bug to be #2...well, ok, I guess I can't argue with that. But I'm not sure it's practical to really solve it. I think the best we can realistically hope for is to get Ubuntu automatically choosing the right package on first install and hopefully on distro upgrade. And probably the only way we can do that is to act on specific reports of specific cards failing with specific versions of specific driver packages. Maybe the best thing for now would be to make a note in all driver packages that there are multiple driver packages that support the same cards, and if one package doesn't work, the user should try the others (including the in-tree one, which requires uninstalling the driver packages). I think that there are just too many combinations to be proactively comprehensive. With all the versions and packages and claimed-supported cards, there ends up being something like 432 combinations. I think all of this came about because Broadcom broke support for older cards when they released the 6.20.x drivers. Maybe it was an accident, or maybe they forgot to note that older cards were no longer supported by newer releases. Whatever happened, it sure has made a mess! Anyway, I feel like I may be more confused now than I was before. I'm going to mark this bug as Incomplete in the Ubuntu project and let you take this bug from here. :) My only suggestion is to try to give it a more helpful title; what it has now may be either too specific or not specific enough. ** Changed in: bcmwl (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677 Title: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311/4312 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/broadcom-sta/+bug/732677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 732677] Re: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311/4312
Ah! I get your point about the bug title. What if we think about this from the perspective of the desired outcome - which should be, I guess, a fresh install that just works. There is no point in continuing to have Ubuntu install STA drivers that don't work wiith 4311 hardware, which is what has happened since natty. If the right solution is to fix the STA driver (or its configuration or whatever) so that it does work with the 4311, then I say let's fix it. If the right solution is to toss the STA driver, or mark it as unsuitable for the 4311, and convince Ubuntu to install b43 (or whatever) then I say let's install b43 instead. I don't really know all the ins and outs of the various drivers, so I don't know which is the right solution. I just know that the STA driver in all its incarnations since natty has failed to work with the 4311 as configured and that I fix it by installing b43 instead while I wait for an Ubuntu release that does not have this problem. If you would like me to test various configurations, my poor old Inspiron is dedicated to that kind of thing so please ask. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677 Title: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311/4312 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/broadcom-sta/+bug/732677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Adam Porter, this bug did indeed first appear in Natty and up to the last time I installed 13.04 on my Dell Inspiron 1501 with 4311 hardware, was the same problem. The STA drivers selected for the install don't work with the 4311 ie there is no working wireless adapter visible in the system. The same fix has also worked since then, which is uninstalling the STA driver and installing the b43 driver. I cannot personally vouch for the original workaround proposed which was downgrading the STA version. I have looked at the comments for the bug you mention, namely 1097519 and there seems to be a lively dispute the correct solution for this problem. Also the people involved in that discussion seem to be working with 4313 devices. Therefore I respectfully suggest that moving this bug to Invalid status is premature or perhaps incorrect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677 Title: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311/4312 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/broadcom-sta/+bug/732677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 732677] Re: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311
Had issues with the natty version of the driver, since switching on/off via Fn-F6 (Dell) did not work, driver did not come up again (but after reboot + right timing of Fn-F6 during reboot). rmmod/modprobe did not reenable wireless. Finally resolved my issues with the not fully funcional driver by installing and pinning the old 5.60 driver from maverick http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/bcmwl-kernel-source/download and additionally setting power management iwconfig eth1 power off to resolve steady disconnection/connetion problem [1] This iwconfig has to be issued after switching off/on wireless, and these solutions did not work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1597874 so I set up a 1 minute cron job to do this for me: # m h dom mon dow command * * * * * /sbin/iwconfig eth1 power off Well, that seems to work (although a heavy weight solution). Hm, will wait with upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 then, if it breaks this.

Please note: Before you upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 this year, make sure you have a working wireless solution that does not require bcmwl version 5.60.* This is because the workaround of installing the old 5.60 driver probably won't work in Ubuntu 11.10 any more, due to bug 830282. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677 Title: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/732677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

On 2011-05-09 in post #51, I noted: 1. use Additional Drivers tool to uninstall the STA driver 2. use sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer to put the old driver in 3. reboot In my case (Dell Inspiron 1501) on log-in I seem to need to activate the wireless with Fn-F2 every time. I have continued to use this in Natty with full success. This week, with the updates that have arrived, a change: the Fn-F2 step is no longer required. I wish I could be more specific but unfortunately I don't know which update might have repaired it - perhaps it was the new kernel? I have not yet reverted to the STA driver to see if that now works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677 Title: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/732677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

When I: 1. Uninstalled the BCM4311 STA driver 2. Rebooted 3. Installed bcmwl-kernel-source and b43-fwcutter 4. Rebooted Then it worked.

I know I need to downgrade to bcm 43... How do I downgrade when I do not have an internet connection?

[Bug 732677] Re: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311
Had the problem on a Dell Latitude 131L (with a 4311): wifi switch turned off at startup, no wireless even after turning it on (via switch or rfkill), etc. First attempt at using b43 instead of STA resulted in b43 not working and ethernet disabled (probably because STA installation had blacklisted b44 as I discovered later). At second attempt I installed the latest version of the previous STA driver http://launchpadlibrarian.net/59629137/bcmwl-kernel- source_5.60.246.2%2Bbdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb , rebooted, then noticed that neither b44 nor wl were loaded. It turned out that probably the installation of b43 had blacklisted wl, but reinstalling STA didn't remove the blacklisting: since wl itself blacklists b44 so that it gets disabled along with ssb before being re-enabled, neither were loaded at startup. So I removed the wl blacklisting from /etc/modprobe.d, rebooted, and both wl and b44 were loaded. Still, the wifi switch was off at startup. I found a post blaming dell-laptop, so I blacklisted it, and everything is now working as expected. Still, it's amazing how with every Ubuntu release it's harder and harder to have a functioning laptop, even if at each release I do a fresh install (this time preserving /home, to be fair). Oh, well, at least with 11.04 it seems the hard freezes that have plagued my system for the last THREE releases are finally gone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677 Title: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I don't know whether my problem is the same. After removing Ubuntu 10.10 and installing 11.04 on my HP 2133 i have troubles with wi-fi.

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 the ethernet controller. The only proper solution is either downgrading to the driver version which was not broken or waiting for an upgrade which fixes the problem. The problem is obviously a regression and needs to be fixed!

Re: [Bug 732677] Re: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311
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, however it will immediately connect once this module is disabled. So I'm not sure if this is a separate issue unique to Acer laptops or what?

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 newer Broadcom chips, so simply reverting 5.100 to 5.60 for all users would seem a little heavy handed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677 Title: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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.
