I used this package to install the driver on 3.2 Kernel and it was working perfectly.

In Additional Drivers , it shows " Using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from wireless-bcm-43142-oneiric-dkms (open source) ".

When I type iwconfig in terminal , it shows "iwconfig lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

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

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%.

Im running VM for the first time. I get the following message:

Quote:

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

as root.

Same thing happened to me but with catalyst-dkms.  I had installed catalyst 12.9 and xorg 1.13 previously and all was working fine.  I just now upgraded the kernel, rebooted and couldn't get in X.  I had to reinstall catalyst-dkms to get it to work (I actually removed catalyst-dkms, catalyst-utils, and lib32-catalyst-utils before reinstalling but probably wasn't neceisary)

This problem is really annoying me :( Here is the situation

I was updated my Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS kernel to version 3.5.0-18-generic so I need to recompile my broadcom-sta to work with the new kernel

I was run

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure broadcom-sta-dkms
