I fixed it differently. HP Mini 5101 netbook. The driver enabled OK via jockey-gtk running off usb, but not running post installation.
$ jockey-text -l kmod:wl - Broadcom STA wireless driver (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) $ sudo jockey-text -e kmod:wl $ jockey-text -l kmod:wl - Broadcom STA wireless driver (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) I'd tracked down the module and was following a possible fix I'd find via google. the insmod error lead me to another google result which suggested depmod -a wireless worked shortly after, and was still working post reboot; so I suspect jockey enabled the driver but tripped over errors loading it. Perhaps any action which runs depmod would fix it at this point. $ pwd /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/updates/dkms $ sudo insmod ./wl.ko insmod: error inserting './wl.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module $ sudo depmod -a $ modprobe wl FATAL: Error inserting wl (/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/updates/dkms/wl.ko): Operation not permitted $ sudo modprobe wl $ lsmod | grep wl wl 1272936 0 lib80211 6432 2 lib80211_crypt_tkip,wl -- Karmic Restricted Driver Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449268 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
