Link 3 - Gives an error similar to "Sorry, installation of this driver failed."īefore continuing with any of the fixes, some users of laptops should know that their Laptops or Netbooks have a button of Function key that Enables/Disables the Wireless card. More problems found in Launchpad, Ubuntu Forum and Askubuntu.Wireless card does not turn on, enable or disable (Link 2 Below).After upgrading from a previous version (eg: 12.04 to 12.10) it stops working.Tries to connect many times without correctly finishing connection.Connects and disconnects continuously every X amount of seconds.Fails when installed via Additional Drivers / Additional Hardware (Link 3 Below).Creates huge log reports trying to correctly configure or connect.System freezes completely (You can only press Reboot/Power button) (Link 1 Below).Crashes system with dmesg errors in log (Link 1 Below).
Stops any receiving/transmitting traffic (Needs reboot to temporarily fix).Keeps asking for password even on cases where AP does not have any.Stop searching for other devices (Does not see any other device).Connections times out after several minutes.I should add that if you choose any of the ways I mention here to fix it, you NEED to test your wireless connection for at least 2 hours (I actually recommend 8 hours) with another device in either Ad-Hoc Mode, Infrastructure Mode or Both. There are several ways to install the drivers, they all depend on the model you have and the version of Ubuntu you have (Since the driver version changes). Right now the models that I have listed here are the ones I have tested or were tested about other Ubuntu users: I will try to cover all Broadcom models and most if not all of the ways of fixing their problems. I will update this answer every time I get a new/old model with a problem. so im pretty lost on what i should do about it?
