Broadcom BCM43227 driver activated but not in use

[teacup123123]

Hello everyone. I am new to linux.
The last time I successfully used my wireless card was 2 weeks ago.
I must have done something(upgrade/network setting...) which led to the disappearence of the enable wireless option in my KDE module.

Upon running

sudo lshw -C network

I got:

and
Additional drivers:

Broadcom STA proprietary wireless driver

This driver is activated but not currently in use

how do I fix this??
please help!
Thanx a lot

How about letting us see:

lspci -nn | grep 0280
rfkill list all

Thanks.

[teacup123123]

Here you go
To give you a precision, I'm on the net using ethernet cable, I also activated openvpn, and I have a wireless usb connected to the PC as a substitution. But the problem is about the wireless card inside my laptop

lspci -nn | grep 0280

Your device is supposed to work with the STA driver. Let's load it and see what interesting messages we find:

sudo modprobe wl
dmesg | grep wl
iwconfig

Thanks.

Uh oh...

By any chance, did you install linux-backports-modules-cw? The 80211 parts there are slightly different from the parts used in the STA driver. As you can see, they conflict and don't allow STA to load and operate.

Do you have Synaptic installed? Search and remove all instances of linux-backports-modules-cw as needed. Then try again:

sudo modprobe wl
dmesg | grep wl

[teacup123123]

I opened Synaptic Package Manager; typed in the filter linux-backports-modules-cw
I then saw one box checked and I marked it for complete removal.
and I applied.
It didn't ask me for reboot,
I retyped the same things but I think there is always the problem.
