Broadcom 4365 wireless driver on 12.04 with 3.4 / 3.5 kernel

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I used this package to install the driver on 3.2 Kernel and it was working perfectly. Unfortunately the system used to freeze randomly with 3.2 kernel so I installed 3.4 kernel, now there is no freezing, the only problem is that my wifi card is not working, I tried to re-install the package, but didn't work. I can see the driver in the "additional drivers" and it say that it is active, but when I execute iwconfig it doesn't show up. I've even tried ndiswraper and that didn't work either. my lspci: 01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4365 (rev 01) (HowTos)

My laptop (Dell Inspiron 17R 5720) came with preinstalled Ubuntu 11.10. I removed it and installed 12.04. Now I can't find driver for wireless. Apparently, in 11.10 there was Broadcom-STA driver. But in 12.04 there is no additional drivers to install. I tried using:

sudo m-a a-i broadcom-sta

But building fails on 26%.

Hi,

I have installed Fedora 17 along with the Broadcom drivers and everything worked fine.

I upgraded a dell mini from Fedora 17 to 18 using fedup and wireless is not working with the latest kernel.

I'm new to linux. I just started working on ubuntu 12.04. Wifi is not working on ubuntu. It works on Windows 7 though.

When I tried connecting to the net throght LAN it works. Also, through LAN I checked for additional drivers.

I have a Dell Laptop on which wireless and every thing used to work perfectly.Today morning I noticed the suddenly there is no wireless at all. On a working condition I used to have folllowing

lspci -vnn

0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000c] Flags: bus master, fast dev

I need to install any working driver for wireless for this laptop, however, after re-installing bcmwl-kernel-source which was installed with OS, I get this:

modprobe wl FATAL: Error inserting wl (/lib/modules/3.5.0-25-generic/updates/dkms/wl.ko): Invalid argument

this driver previously worked but I was trying to get some alternative, because this driver is proprietary and didn't work with kerne

I am having Dell Vostro 2520 Laptop. On doing lspci, the info about wifi device is

07:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4365 (rev 01)

The wi-fi device is not working, I am unable to find the respective driver for this deivce with respect to ubuntu 12.04.

Please reply

Thanks
