+1 for josephmills- I have observed him helping MANY people in the networking sub-forum here both quickly and efficiently.

If you are trying to upgrade to the newer/newest NVIDIA Linux drivers (which I recommend from my experience), then you will need to shutdown/exit the X11 window server. This isn't the easiest thing...

That would have been the nouveau driver running from the LiveDVD when I didn't observe this problem. The nvidia module showed "shutdown flashing" with all flavors of Ubuntu 10.04 that I tried.

After trying several flavors of Linux while archiving/organizing/converting my Ubuntu stuff from the last 3 years or so, I can state this is DEFINITELY a problem in the NVIDIA graphics driver module...

UPDATE: I have since found/discovered that the problems with rfkill and Monitor Mode in the STA driver are apparently gone in the newer 5.100.82.xxxx STA driver modules.

Although this is for...

I've seen a similar problem with my /etc/resolv.conf DNS server modifications mysteriously disappearing sometime this past week. Of course resolv.conf is another of those "# Generated by...

I'm not ready to burn the .ISO file quite yet (I was just a little surprised that it didn't detect my Nero Linux software)- I might need to dig up some other packages and remaster another .ISO, but...

Thank you very much for this APTonCD tip, praseodym. I've been looking for a Linux/Ubuntu backup tool like this for a LONG time. (I have my own command line method I've been working on using...

Hi wildmanne,

Are you sure about that April date? My understanding is that 10.04.3 LTS means "Long Term Support" (a HUGE portion of the reason(s) why I prefer it). Well that and the fact that I...

That is a fairly large kernel driver object file "wl.ko" that my Broadcom 4321AG/"4328" wireless is currently using ( ~2.5 MB, and working very well with):

Perhaps there is some firmware burrowed...

I'm quite sure that "wl" part means you downloaded and installed Broadcom "STA" firmware instead of Broadcom "b43" firmware. I'm actually a little surprised that your 4318 is working with STA...

I see we cross-posted again. Well I'm glad it worked at least twice, but I'm still scratching my head about what got changed in your setup. I would look a lot closer at those firmware files and...

OK- so we apparently know that kernel module mei comes from Intel and it "manages" something... :confused:

I was reading another thread about Intel Centrino wireless, but it was for a different...

I'm not sure what is involved in Oneiric 11.10's "Unity" environment (which I strongly dislike), but good ol' GNOME 2.x had the Gnome Keyring to store all your passwords on/in:

Posts #4, 5, & 6 on this other thread (as well as much experience with Dell, Toshiba, & HP laptops with "soft-keys") is why I was thinking about that possibility:

Well according to Debian (where Ubuntu derives from and consequently Kbuntu as well):

Also, I don't see your Intel Centrino WiMax 6150 listed there under...

So you did already have wpasupplicant or you recently installed it? Perhaps there is some configuration SNAFU there. Also, I still haven't heard whether you are trying to connect using WEP, WPA,...

Have you tried to boot with the "acpi=off" option in your GRUB[2] bootloader to see if you experience the same WiFi problem with Power Management disabled?

I believe you can change that somewhat...

Have you looked for a DOS-based Flash utility from your motherboard manufacturer (some still issue them, and I've seen recommendations to ALWAYS flash BIOS (and other EEPROM's) from a DOS or...

NOT the dreaded manual! That's entrirely TOO drastic!!! :D

I'm glad it's working for you. For the benefit of other Broadcom 4318 users/owners/'fixers,' here is nearly 200 pages of "HOWTO"...

Yep, it looks like I guessed the correct .DEB packages (but the sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant wpagui) is still probably your easiest & best way to get the correct versions.

Edit: Oh yes, you...

Just reading through that old WPA Howto, I noticed a couple of Kubuntu-specific tidbits:

Those were the only 2 that I read, but dinner just got served, so I might be gone for a while....

Hey, that answers that question about your ethernet cable (but you often needed to disconnect that and reboot Ubuntu to 'jump start' the wireless in 8.xx 9.xx and possibly 10.xx Ubuntu versions- but...

Yes, it actually looks pretty good as far as the iwlagn module (and his 2 or 3 'friends') being loaded into the Linux kernel properly, the firmware appears to have loaded without any error messages,...
