Wireless not working unless Broadcom STA driver is deactivated reactivated

[Detcader]

I'm on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, Linux Kernel 2.6.27-11-generic. on -10-generic, wireless worked normally. Now, after much effort, Ubuntu only recognizes the wireless card when I boot after I deactive the Broadcom STA driver under Hardware Drivers, and then reactivate it.

--Some information--

Here is the results of

ifconfig ;  iwconfig;  route -n;  cat /etc/resolv.conf  and cat /etc/network/interfaces

If you run this command once:

echo wl | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

Now reboot. Does that solve the problem?

If not, try this:

1. type:

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/modprobe-wl.sh

A blank file will open. Add these lines to it:

#!/bin/bash

modprobe wl
rmmod wl
modprobe wl
ifconfig eth1 up

Then save and close the file, and run these commands:

cd /etc/init.d
sudo chmod +x modprobe-wl.sh
sudo update-rc.d modprobe-wl.sh start 99 2 3 4 5

Now reboot. If you still have to reload the driver manually, please post the output of:

dmesg

(There will be quite a bit of output; please post it all.)

[kevdog]

pytheas -- again a great solution by making this a runlevel script, however I believe you should again add it in run level 99 rather than the default run level 20. This would allow every service to be started and the last thing to run -- the wireless configuration. I think this would be the preferred method.

Also whatever just happened to placing these commands within rc.local? I know there are multiple ways to skin a cat, however I'm just trying to keep things straight forward and easy!!

[pytheas22]

kevdog: I didn't think it would make a difference when the script was run--basically I'm assuming that simply reloading the wl module after its initial insertion is what it takes to solve the problem--but I guess it can't hurt to run it as late as possible. I changed the original post to reflect that (please let me know if the syntax looks wrong; I'm rusty on the update-rc.d arguments). Thanks for the suggestion.

[kevdog]

Looks good to me -- You might be right about your assumption -- I just don't know. If I don't know I usually error for things to be loaded later in the boot sequence. Of course the beauty of using update-rc.d is that the parameter can quickly be changed.

[seoci]

I have a different laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1318, but ran into the same issue. Adding wl to /etc/modules didn't solve the problem, but adding the stuff you put in modprobe-wl.sh to rc.local did solve the problem.

Just wanted to let you know that you got it (as well as anyone else who ends up looking here for a solution).

[gamerguy76]

Thank you! I spent three days trying to figure this out. I have dell xps 1330 with 1505n wireless. After installing the script you suggested everything works perfectly when I reboot.

[htpw16]

Hello all,

Came across this thread when I was looking how to get more information from my iwconfig. I have the Broadcom STA driver and my wireless connection is working flawlessly. However, when I iwconfig all I get is

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      IEEE 802.11  Nickname:""
          Access Point: Not-Associated

I want to also set/ play with the rate and txpower which I am currently unable to do. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

[pytheas22]

htpw16: the only suggestion I have is to try installing the STA driver using the version from Broadcom's website, which will probably be more up-to-date than the Ubuntu one and might work better.

That said, I doubt it actually will. The driver may simply not be designed to support all the iwconfig calls on your hardware, and since it's closed-source and proprietary, there's not much that can be done about it besides complain to Broadcom and hope they fix it.

If your card is supported by the open-source and standards-compliant b43 driver, you could try that instead, but there are a few Broadcom chips (in particular, the 11n ones) that don't yet work with b43.

[Torgas Prim]

I have been following this thread's suggestions and am at the dmesg command:
I mistakenly hit No I think when enabling the driver during a fresh install of ubuntu, to allow the firmware to install also. How can I fix this?
