    Exclamation BCM43xG 802.11b/g Wireless not working

    My Wireless card has not been working on Jaunty even after enabling the Driver in Hardware drivers. I had the same problem in 8.10 but i did something with a friend that fixed it. It will see a network, say its connected to it but when you try to run anything it just doesnt work or is too slow. Any help would be great!!

    Re: BCM43xG 802.11b/g Wireless not working

    Looking at your outputs it would appear that your wireless card is seeing more noise than signal.

    Link Quality=55/100 Signal level:-72 dBm Noise level=-60 dBm

    whereas my wirless card reports

    Link Quality:96/100 Signal level:-34 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm


    To have any real chance the signal level must be the smaller than the noise and prefereably by at least 20dB. Remember these are negative numbers so the smaller number is better if you get my drift.

    I would try moving your laptop or AP

    Re: BCM43xG 802.11b/g Wireless not working

    Ive thought about that, but even when im right next to the router it doesnt work. It says its connected but the connection just doesnt work. We have other computers in the house that are running over the router. Also the rooms where i mainly try and fail to use it i was able to get when i had 8.10
