Hi, I'm a Ubuntu newbie currently testing out Ubuntu 12.10 on a Live USB. From my network controller, there does not seem to be an option to connect to a wireless network. The wired connection via Ethernet cable worked fine.
09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1600] (rev 02)
0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01)
I've tried the following to get my wireless to work:
- Turning on the bcmwl-kernel-source driver in "Additional Drivers": nothing happened.
- Typing in
sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source
- DKMS: install completed.
ERROR: Module b43 does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module b43legacy does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module ssb is in use by ssb_hcd
ERROR: Module bcm43xx does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module brcm80211 does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module brcmfmac does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module brcmsmac does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module bcma does not exist in /proc/modules
update-initramfs is disabled since running on read-only media
After getting the above, I tried:
sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma
FATAL: Module ssb is in use.
this@this:~$ sudo modprobe wl
this@this:~$
-----------------------------------
I've also tried installing b43-fwcutter, but it isn't listed in Additional Drivers after my attempt.
this@this:~$ sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb
FATAL: Module ssb is in use.
this@this:~$ sudo modprobe b43
this@this:~$
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. =)
