Boy, oh boy! This is your lucky day. You have an unsupported device where the fix is tricky and experimental! Congratulations!

Please see here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/17510...stro-3460-3560

Notice your device is the same as described there:

Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:4365]

Please hook up the ethernet cable temporarily and do:

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms

Find out if you have a 32- or 64-bit install:

Code:

arch

32-bit will return i686 and 64-bit will be x86_64. Download the appropriate file to your desktop. Back to the terminal and do:

Code:

cd Desktop
sudo dpkg -i wireless*.deb

Reboot with the ethernet detached and it should be working.

Post back any errors or stumbling blocks.

Hi Chili555

Can you please tell what code I should type for 64-bit operating system ? I didnt follow the last code fragment

My OS is 64-bit and the command arch returned x86_64.

The

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms

, gave the following output .

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
dkms is already the newest version.
build-essential is already the newest version.
linux-headers-generic is already the newest version.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  lib32gcc1
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

Hi, use the 64 bit deb file in the link he posted at the top of his
reply.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/17510...stro-3460-3560

also..run the autoremove you got in your last post.

**7Starphy** · November 1st, 2012

That link is not working

And I did the autoremove....now what should I do ?

**Hadaka** · November 1st, 2012

Hi, it works for me no problem, are you accessing the net
with the ethernet cable via Ubuntu or windows?

**7Starphy** · November 1st, 2012

Ethernet cable via ubuntu ..for me it is coming ''webpage is not available" .

I am using Internet via my University Proxy server..it is blocking Dropbox.com , I think

**Hadaka** · November 1st, 2012

Well....shame on them

. Looks like you get to hang at
Mcdonalds or starbucks....Do you know how to drag the deb file from the Download
folder to the desktop? when you finally get it...thats what you need to do, then
issue the last commands Chill555 gave you.

**7Starphy** · November 1st, 2012

Thanks

For that I need to download..now how do I download...have to ask some students who can bypass the university proxy

**Hadaka** · November 1st, 2012

Let me see if i can load it...zip it and send it to you.
