Yes, it's close but some annoying issues are still present. What do you get from:
Code:
sudo -s
rmmod b43
rmmod ssb
rmmod wl
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/wireless/lib80211.ko
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/wireless/lib80211_crypt_ccmp.ko
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/wireless/lib80211_crypt_tkip.ko
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/wireless/lib80211_crypt_wep.ko
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wirless/wl.ko
uname -r
locate wl.ko
dmesg | grep -e wl -e eth1
lshw -C Network
I know that's a lot to type but it will hopefully get to the root of this "Unknown symbol lib80211_get_crypto_ops" bit, which is why the driver is not loading properly.
An alternative approach to getting an Internet connection is to use the b43 driver. This driver probably won't work well for you, but if you can at least use it to get online once, you can grab all the stuff you need to get online permanently. To get b43 working, first download the file http://burnthesorbonne.com/files/b43_firmware.tar.gz and save it to your desktop on Ubuntu. Then run:
Code:
cd ~/Desktop
tar -xzvf b43_firmware.tar.gz
sudo cp -r b43 /lib/firmware
sudo cp -r b43legacy /lib/firmware
sudo rmmod wl
sudo modprobe b43
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
At this point, if you can see wireless networks, try connecting. You may need to reboot a couple times (after reach reboot, run the last three commands above to ensure the b43 driver is activated) before you can get a connection. If you manage to get online, run:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source bcmwl-modaliases
and it will download and install a solid driver that should work permanently.
