Wifi not working on my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop.

Hi, the information you posted says your hardware switch is off, you can turn it on usually with a switch or a key like fn f2 for example.
Thanks

I was finally able to get that switch to work and now the wireless is working fine.

Thanks

I would if I had the option, but there is no option for me in the thread tools.

I am having the same problem, combed through the thread and followed the step by step described here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...eisty_No-Fluff

But, seems like I got lost in the weeds and now I am stuck; I do have the wired network connection working, but the wireless light is yellow and I am not sure what to do next.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys,

I have an HP Pavilion dv2315nr which has the same broadcom 4311 module. I followed the steps on the first two pages and it also worked for a short while. Was able to surf, download banshee, then in the middle of a youtube vid, it stopped working.

The LED was still blue but there was no signal. I have another pc with wifi working so its only the hp. So, I did a reboot and now the LED is orange again.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

Update:

I decided to do a clean install and redid the steps and still no dice.

Other than that, everything runs perfect. lol
