I have also a BCM4313 wireless card in my asus eeepc 1015pem and it works fine in maverick and natty with brcm80211,mac80211... open source modules.
In Maverick I installed linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless and downloaded firmware files to /lib/firmware/brcm/* with symlinks. In Natty modules and firmware files are included but symlinks are missing, see following bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/728746 Wireless card has to be enabled in bios or wlan will not work, even if you push keyboard shortcuts... (led off)! I guess state of wireless card and bluetooth in bios can be influenced by state in operating system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/707353 Title: [STAGING] Broadcom 4313 firmware fails to load because it is not present -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
