I have an Acer 5820T - 64 bit, and have been unable to get the WiFi Working
(Broadcom 802.11n) under Lucid or Maverick. I have tried a variety of kernels
and fixes as recommended on various forums and web sites. Lucid Kernels tried
with patches: 2.6.32-21, 23,24, 25, 2.6.35-7.11 . I get errors when trying
to install the broadcom drivers depending on the kernel, etc: bcwml-kernel
source fails to build, bad return status error for module build, could not
locate wl.ko for module bcwml in dkms tree. I have run the sudo apt-get patch,
fakeroot, dkms, type fixes per forums and have uninstalled the broadcom drivers
before starting any installs. Broadcom drivers cannot be installed using either
synaptic or System-Admin-Hardware Drivers.
I am running the laptop dual boot with Windows 7 (I unfortunately have to use
some windows apps) and all hardware works just fine in Win 7 .
Hopefully there is something simple I have forgotten to do. Any suggestions?
