Its got XP on it and I decided to try Ubuntu. I've tried Ubuntu before and it was ok but not great but that was awhile ago. Anyway the windows installer is great (Wubi), really easy to understand and clearly laid out. My main trouble is getting wireless networking working, wired networking is not an option where I have the computer set up. I've poked about a bit and it looks like a driver is loaded but I'm getting a disconnected message under the wireless networks icon and its not picking any available networks up. If I type nm-tool in terminal I get type: 802.11 wifi driver:b43 state:disconnected default:no and the MAC address of my adaptor lspci tells me its a broadcom corp bcm4306 802.11b/g wireless LAN controller. This is all pretty much gibberish to me though. :\ I know its not a hardware problem as it works fine if I boot into windows. Any help would be very much appreciated. #1 WelshBloke, Dec 12, 2010 WelshBloke Lifer Joined: Jan 12, 2005 Messages: 20,127 Likes Received: 137 rfkill list gives: soft blocked: no hard blocked: no Flying blind with google as my copilot here. #2 WelshBloke, Dec 12, 2010 ManyBeers Platinum Member Joined: Aug 30, 2004 Messages: 2,493 Likes Received: 1 WelshBloke said: ↑ rfkill list gives: soft blocked: no hard blocked: no Flying blind with google as my copilot here.Click to expand...

allow auto-removal of linux-image-* packages. (Closes: #724567) -- Daniel Echeverry
Broadcom produces. Note: Broadcom USB devices are handled by the brcmfmac driver. b43legacy: supports BCM4306 Rev 2 and cards that have only 802.11b capability b43: supports all other models Kernel automatically loads correct driver for the present hardware (it checks for revision of the 802.11 core). Please read this whole document and the FAQ before asking questions to the developers. Contents b43 and b43legacy Caveats Known issues Supported devices Support Features Working Not working yet Device firmware installation Fedora openSUSE Ubuntu/Debian Gentoo Mandriva Other distributions not mentioned above b43legacy, b43, STA, brcm80211, ... the full story Switching between drivers Bug reporting Developers Donations External Links Caveats The b43/b43legacy drivers require proprietary firmware to be loaded onto the wireless chip before it can operate, see below. If you have a Broadcom USB device, it's most likely a FullMAC device. See rndis_wlan for 14e4:4320 and brcmfmac for others. The b43/b43legacy driver is not meant to support such a device. It is possible to use only one driver at a moment, they are conflicting each other. See Switching between drivers for howto on choosing driver. Known issues LP-PHY devices: DMA errors on some machines with kernel 2.6. Problem was fixed in 3.0. Using PIO (module param) can be used as workaround for 2.6. BCM4318 chipset: AP mode does not work because of packet loss in high transmission rates. Hard to debug & fix. BCM4321: some cards do not work in DMA mode with kernel 3.1 and older. Problem was fixed in 3.2. A workaround for older kernel is to use PIO mode (b43.pio=1 module param). G-PHY devices: not working with kernels 3.15 and 3.16-rc1 (a regression). This was fixed in 3.15.5 (6f3f164) and 3.16-rc3 (2fc68eb). Supported devices To find out whether a PCI device is supported by the b43 or b43legacy drivers, issue this lspci command: lspci -vnn -d 14e4:The command will output a string similar to this example: 0001:01:01.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02)Ignore everything, except the last part inside of the [ ]. Find that phrase in the below table to determine support. PCI-ID Supported?
