Wireless card not working and no access to internet to fix it

**hanning** · June 24th, 2012

Hello folks,

Like it says, I recently did a new clean install of 12.04 from 10.04 and my wireless card has stopped working.

Usually you can fix this by downloading/installing various things, but my problem is that I have no physical access to the router so can't use an ethernet connect to do this. Right now I'm typing this from my 2nd computer with working wifi.

Possible pertinent details, but let me know what other outputs are handy.

product: BCM4311 802.11b/ WLAN
vendor: broadcom corporation

Please run and post:

Code:

lspci -nn | grep 0280

Look in the drawer and dust of that old USB key, we'll need it in a few moments.

So does that mean it's all fixed and you are a happy penguin? Would you care to use thread tools at the top and mark Solved? Certainly post back if you need additional assistance.
