Hello everyone, I am trying out Ubuntu for the very first time today and I cannot seem to get my wireless notebook card working. Would anybody mind helping me out? I can't seem to detect my card at all (Fresh installation).

I really have trouble sorting through all the feedback I get when using commands,

You don't have to sort through it, we, who read and write this wonderful alien language called Ubuntu, will sort through it for you and help you get to the answer. When you enter the commands in a terminal, you can copy and paste the result to your posting reply. We will then interpret it and help you get connected.

Can you hook up an ethernet cable and get connected so we can download files? If so, we can solve this quickly and easily.

[Mokacoffay]

Yeah I have a jump drive that I've been switching back and forth in order to post those copypastas. I need to download a "b43/ucode5.fw" from that website, correct?

[chili555]

You need b43-fwcutter from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/b43-fwcutter

From the website referenced, you need this: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources...0.10.5.tar.bz2

Then open a terminal and do:

sudo dpkg -i b43-fwcutter*
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver
sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ wl_apsta_mimo.o

Reboot. Your wireless should spring to life.

Post back if you get stuck.

[Mokacoffay]

Thanks a ton! I'll give it a shot. This whole thing is still pretty new to me.

[Mokacoffay]

Thank you very much! My card seems to be working now +9001 rep to the casual ubuntu forum support roamers!

[chili555]

+9001 rep to the casual ubuntu forum support roamers!

I will take that as a very much appreciated compliment. Thanks!

I'm glad it's working for you.

[dwpbike]

and i've got to give you credit for making me realize i already had generic drivers in the same scenario. competing drivers was the real symptom and blacklist was the solution. many tanks.
