    Re: Wifi won't connect on 13.04 with BCM 4313

    I've retraced my steps some, and I have come to the conclusion that I have actually been having two wifi problems, but I have been treating them as one.

    Problem #1 - first demonstrated when I upgraded from 12.10 - 13.04. My home wifi network would show in the available network lists, but I could not connect to it (i.e., continual attempt at connection showing in the indicator, but never able to make the connection). This problem was solved when I correctly applied Varunendra's fix.

    Problem #2 - The first time I rebooted after successfully applying Varunendra's fix, my wifi indicator showed that I was weakly connected to my network, but I could not access the internet - web pages would never load and would eventually time out. I tried reapplying Varunendra's fix at these times with no improvement. At that time I tried some other fixes, which included reinstalling and updating the Broadcom driver. This recreated problem #1. I then applied Varunendra's fix and wifi was up and running again. I essentially went back through this same process again yesterday after my computer was left unplugged and I had to reboot.

    I have since applied the recommended fix at post #13 above and I did reboot with no loss of Wifi. Not sure if any of this will help you guys. Thanks again, so much, for all of your help. If I can provide any further information let me know.

    Yes you can help us more.

    First - a personal favour to me - please stop calling that "Varunendra's fix", both of you. Its embrrassing as it is mostly a 'stolen fix', I've only put it together in one place.

    Second - this was unexpected, although it may be because we copied the wl driver manually -
    Code:
    long@long-Lenovo:~$ dpkg -s bcmwl-kernel-source | grep -i version
    dpkg-query: package 'bcmwl-kernel-source' is not installed and no information is available
    So please post instead -
    Code:
    modinfo wl
    Third, regarding the 'weak connection' issue, please post -
    Code:
    iwconfig
    ifconfig
    Maybe we can see and suggest something that makes it possibly better. Additionally, you may wish to post a complete diagnostics report (iwconfig is included in it) following the "Wireless Script" link in my signature. But that's not required if things are satisfactory.

    You guys are determined

    The output of modinfo is as expected, but this looks cryptic, none like I have ever seen so far -

    The highlighted part above doesn't seem good to me. Are you too far from the access point? Although since it is cryptic, I may be misinterpreting it. But if it is what it looks like, then the noise level is too high than 'tolerable'. Usually it should be under 65. But I don't know if it is in normal units. Similarly, the link quality is normally displayed in the form of "something1/something2" which is interpreted as "something1 out of something2". Now I can't say that "5" is on what scale

    EDIT : Noticed later, it shows both "not associated" as well as link quality and other stuff - which only appears when it IS associated with an access point. So this is really a messed up output. I'd have to find more examples, or seek advice from my seniors to get an idea of what is going on here

    So for now, since I'm not even sure I'm interpreting it correctly, let's leave it as long as the connection is fine.

    Usually I recommend to disable IPv6 altogether (using this method), but that doesn't explain the 'error packets'. Besides, as long as it is working, just

    We'd be right here if needed

    Okay, I now think I am back to problem two. I still have a connection, but it is not very good. I am probably about 7 feet from my router, but the indicator shows a weak connection and web page loading is hit or miss. This is a big change from a few days ago when I first reapplied the fix.

    Hmm..
    While you are connected via wireless, please post outputs of -
    Code:
    iwconfig
    ifconfig
    sudo iwlist scan
    dmesg | grep wl
    Let's see if something obvious jumps out.

    Hmm.. that output is more familiar.. but, "wlan3"???? The "wl" driver assigns the interface name of "ethx" pattern, not "wlanx".
    Looks like you are back on the native brcmsmac driver, probably due to a kernel upgrade? Let us take a look at -
    Code:
    uname -mr
    lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net
    lsmod
    Varun

    Indeed what I suspected. Please compile and install the wl driver again like you did previously. Plus this additional step to prevent the brcmsmac driver from loading :
    Code:
    echo "blacklist brcmsmac" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    Reboot if necessary, and post back if our old driver gives you better speeds.

    PS:
    I know this is annoying to manually compile and install the driver again after each kernel upgrade. This can be automated as far as I know, using 'dkms', but unfortunately, I don't yet know how to use it. Thanks to my laziness
