http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hello,I just installed Crunchbang on a new HP laptop:Linux pavilion 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Jun 29 20:42:29 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux At first there was no option in Network Manager for selecting the wireless network. I tried installing the following packages:apt-get install broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source firmware-brcm80211And then the wireless card was recognized but never manages to connect to the network. Under Windows connects fine.Here is the output from lspci: 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) Subsyst (HowTos)

Stories similar to Broadcom wifi not connecting

I have Ubuntu 12.04 using Broadcom BCM4313 and can't get it to successfully connect to my wifi. I'm sure the problem is not with my wifi since other devices are able to connect. It detects networks but whenever I try to connect, I only get "Connection Failed".

I checked my drivers, modules and blacklist but I'm not sure if there is something I'm missing.

Hi, I just moved to Fedora 11 but can't figure out how to get my wireless working. I have the broadcom driver installed and the Network Manager Applet shows the available wireless networks, but when I click on them they just don't connect. Any ideas??

I get the following output on lspci regarding the wireless adapter:

Hi All,

I am new to linux/Ubuntu and need some help!

I have a new Dell Precision M6400 core I7 laptop. i am not able to connect to wireless network.

i tried all options in the config guide but still was not successful. In the additional Drivers window i see that it is using Broadcom STA wireless driver.

I just installed a Broadcom card in a Dell C610 running F17. Installed the two kmod-wl packages from rpmfusion, and whatever they dragged in with themselves.

When the system boots up the kernel modules wl, lib80211, lib80211_crypt are not getting loaded and a network device is not being created.

Hello,I think perhaps you don't not have the proper firmware installed.  I had the same trouble when I first put CrunchBang on my computer.I am in no way an expert on these sorts of things, but I got it working by identifying my wireless card and using the info on the Debian Wiki to install the right firmware.If you don't know what Wi-Fi chip you have, try typing the following into

Hi. I'm using crunchbang since a few months ago. I love the usability and minimalism of it. The only problem I have is with the wireless card. lspci -nn | grep Network01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)The wireless works, but suddenly is disconnected :S with no possibility to connect again.
