1.Install the Non-free Broadcom STA Driver via 'Additional Software' 2.To check if my suggested solution will work for you, try to run the following command in terminal # sudo modprobe -r acer-wmi after that you should be able to connect to wireless lan (should work for acer travelmate & lenovo ideapad with broadcom wireless adapters )
3.If that worked out for you, the following procedure will resolve the issue permanently with not working wireless/wlan broadcom adapters: # sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf in the blacklist.conf file add at the end this: blacklist acer-wmi 4.You're done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730972 Title: IdeaPad U160 Broadcom wifi not connecting -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
