broadcom wireless card

[William S]

can anyone please give me a step by step guide to get this thingy working in 8.10? I have tried to get it working every single version since 7.04, and no version have made it work. I can activate wireless, but I cant see any wireless networks.
Anyone know what to do get it real working I mean you can see wireless networks without any problem. And it is with both the driver from hardware drivers and the bcm3xx-fwcutter firmwire thing (or what it is called) And I am on a HP laptop.

Search these forums and/or google for your laptop name + ubuntu + wireless and it should turn up. HP has been a PITA for laptop wireless for idk how long, someone should have the solution already.

Which Broadcom card is it? If you don't know then do:

lshw -C network

in the terminal. That way we will be able to help you better.

Hi, try these commands here:

sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl
sudo modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip
sudo modprobe wl
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

For information on waht they mean, you will need to carefully read this thread here and the following pages:

Hope it works. If not, somebody is sure to have a solution.
