    Wireless not working on ASUS Eee 1015PED

    When I log in to Xubuntu, the "Hardware Drivers" app tells me I. need to activate the driver for "Broadcom STA", but after I click on "Activate", an error message pops up

    Sorry, the installation of this driver failed.

    Please have a look at the log file for details.: /var/log/jockey.log
    This is the error the logs shows:

    What can you guys make of this?


    Nevermind. Problem solved after updating. I was running Xubuntu out of the box.

    Hi Veld,
    Can you please confirm that your 1015PED can see wifi networks around now and you can connect to it? In public places, for instance.
    Trying to figure the problems i'll run if will buy one for myself.
    Thanks.
