Hi, then not everything works or you could connect.

Can you install updates?

Did you run the command in my post and reboot like I asked?
Thanks

**kurci2** · January 14th, 2012

yes i installed updates today...
and i also executed the command and rebooted.
thanks to you =)

Hi, it may be a problem with chrome, have you made sure it is not in off line mode?

You should also install firefox from the software center and see if you can get on the internet with it.
Thanks

i have tried them both --> but it is the same on both
When this happens... that i lose internet access (because i have access for a couple of minutes when i connect and when i lose connection i reconnect)... i even can't run sudo apt-get update
there is even no internet access via terminal or via skype or via dropbox
nothing.

Hi, okay that is what I was trying to find out, please do.

Code:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source

Code:

echo "blacklist brcmsmac" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Code:

sudo rmmod -f brcmsmac

Code:

sudo modprobe wl

disconnect wired connection and give it time to come on.
Thanks

ok!
i have done this and so far so good.
My connection is OK for some hours... It has never happened before.

But there is one problem.
wl module doesn't start automatically on startup
I have to execute this command every time i reboot: sudo modprobe wl

Is there a way to automatically start wl module?

**wildmanne39** · January 15th, 2012

Hi, this should make it start at boot.

Code:

sudo su 
echo wl >> /etc/modules 
exit

Thanks

I can not thank you enough!!
Everything works as it should. If i will notice any more problems i will come back here!

You really deserve a beer now =)
