I am having the same problem here. Please help I beg.
I have a new Dell inspiron 1525n laptop. I just wiped it and installed a fresh
Ubuntu9.10.
I selected the Broadcom STA wireless driver in "Hardware Drivers".
I rebooted the laptop but now network manager shows (greyed out) wireless is
disabled.
When i do Ifconfig it shows the wireless driver as eth2 eth0 is the wired lan
card.
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 70:1a:04:6d:5f:2b
inet6 addr: fe80::721a:4ff:fe6d:5f2b/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Interrupt:17 Base address:0xc000
Iwconfig gives me this
eth2 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:off
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Managementmode:All packets received
So the wireless seems to be OK it looks like a problem with Network Manager.
How do i fix this
please i beg.
