Thank you

Hi, copy and paste this command in the terminal (ctrl+alt+t) please:

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script

It will download a script and create a text file in your home folder with wireless information so we can see the condition of your wireless at this time and the Mac address, WPA key and WEP key are removed for your security, then reply back and attach the netinfo.txt file.
Thanks

Hi, the file is attached to the message.
Thank you for your help

[wildmanne39]

Hi, please do:

sudo apt-get remove --purge b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer

Then:

sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer

Reboot
Thanks

[Factorino]

Good Morning!

I'm having a similar issue in Ubuntu as well. I ran the script that you put in the forum above.

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script
I have attached the file that it created below.

Would you be so kind to assist me please?

Thanks!

I tried the solution at the beginning of this thread for my Dell Latitude 630, but it didn't work. Here is my output from the commands you posted. I hope you can help me too.

Just noticed that you have the incorrect STA driver installed. You probably should do it like this

sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
sudo modprobe b43
