Woohoooo! I got the wireless working! I used Kernel 2.6.32-999-generic and had to download firmware.
Here are the steps: 1. First connect the computer to the Internet with a cable (this is the easiest way) 2. Go here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds 3. You will likely be pointed here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current 4. Get the current kernel (I used http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/linux-image-2.6.32-999-generic_2.6.32-999.200910141000_i386.deb) 5. Install it: sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.32-999-generic_2.6.32-999.200910141000_i386.deb Now reboot and after startup, if you run dmesg you'll probably see "Cannot find firmware file b43/ucode15.fw" 1. The message will point you to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#device_firmware 2. Scroll down to "You are using the b43 driver with an LP-PHY card (e.g. BCM4312)" 3. Before you follow the instructions you'll need git: sudo apt-get install git-core 4. Now become root: sudo -i 5. Paste in the two sets of instructions - they will "git clone" the fwcutter and then download and install the firmware After that, reboot and you should be all set! ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing ** Tags removed: needs-kernel-logs -- Broadcom bcm4312 wireless not detected at all https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
