    It means that wl, the module that is supposed to drive your device, and it's dependency lib80211 are loaded. The possibly conflicting drivers b43 and ssb are not loaded, which is correct. Moreover, it means there is nothing wrong here to fix and make your wireless work! I hate it when you open the hood and it's all perfect except it just doesn't work.

    We are going to collect a lot of information in a text document, zip it up and attach it to your reply. Please do:
    Code:
    lsmod > djavet.txt
    dmesg >> djavet.txt
    sudo lshw -C network >> djavet.txt
    rfkill list all >> djavet.txt
    sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep wl >> djavet.txt
    zip djavet.zip djavet.txt
    In your home directory, you will find a file called djavet.zip. Attach it to your reply using the little paperclip tool at the top of the reply box.

    Re: Dell D610 wifi driver install but cannot connect

    Dr. Chili doesn't like this one bit!
    [ 20.346582] eth%d: 5.100.82.38 driver failed with code 21
    Did you build this driver from a download? (Booo!) Or did you install bcmwl-kernel-source (Yaaaay!)

    May I see:
    Code:
    modinfo wl | grep -i version

    Re: Dell D610 wifi driver install but cannot connect

    Second one. Here:
    Code:
    djavet@ubuntu:~$ modinfo wl | grep -i version
    srcversion:     1E121706FBA8C851ED8D2F6
    vermagic:       2.6.38-8-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 686

    0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4312] (rev 01)
    Your device is claimed by two drivers:
    Code:
    chili@LAPTOP60:~$ modinfo wl | grep 4312
    alias:          pci:v000014E4d00004312sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
    chili@LAPTOP60:~$ modinfo ssb | grep 4312
    alias:          pci:v000014E4d00004312sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
    Very obviously, wl is not doing the job for us. Therefor, please do:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source dkms
    sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter
    Reboot and tell me if the wireless is working.

    Sadly it's not working...
    Code:
    djavet@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter
    [sudo] password for djavet:

    b43-fwcutter is already the newest version.
    firmware-b43-installer is already the newest version.

    Re: Dell D610 wifi driver install but cannot connect

    How about the first part?
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source dkms
    Is b43 blacklisted? Please reboot.

    Re: Dell D610 wifi driver install but cannot connect

    How can I know if it's blacklisted?
    Code:
    djavet@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source dkms
    [sudo] password for djavet: 
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Package dkms is not installed, so not removed
    Package bcmwl-kernel-source is not installed, so not removed

    Try this:
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    If 'blacklist b43' is there, remove it and save and close gedit. If not, just close gedit and then reboot in either event.
