http://askubuntu.com – i have installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Lenovo G550 laptop. It has a Broadcom 4312 wireless lan adapter which is not working. How do I fix it. How can I see what drivers are being used. I've downloaded what I think is the driver from the broadcom site but have no idea how to get it installed. I'm completely new at this Linux stuff. I think this is the relevant info: 04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) 07:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1713] (rev 02) (HowTos)

I just fixed my broken system, due to forcing glibc update.After that, Arch couldn't detect my wifi chip, so I decided to reinstall the driver again.$ lspci -vnn | grep 14e409:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1713] (rev 02)0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01)Fir

Hey all, after finally installing 11.3, I found that my wireless NIC had stopped working. I've spent about 4 hours trying various online tutorials to get the card working, but I'm still right where I was when I began.

The card as reported by lspci:

Code: linux-lcag:~ # lspci -vnn | grep Broadcom

Hi, I'm new to Opensuse, I just installed 11.3, no serious problems so far.

I see a lot of people with problems to make work their Broadcom 4312 wireless. These are the steps I took to solve it. Please remember I'm a total rookie on Opensuse, so there is probably a better way.

First, this is my setup:

Code: /sbin/lspci -nnk

Hi,I'm trying to make a fresh install with the latest install medium.

Hello, sorry to dredge up the past, i know this is an old problem but i cant find an answer younger than 2005.

Running:- /sbin/lspci -vnn | grep 14e4

I get:- 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)

i've seen a workaround for centos:- yum install b43-fwcutter b43-openfwwf mkdir ~/b43-driver; cd ~/b43-driver wget http://down

I have a HP MINI 210-1010NR and just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I can't get my wireless to work.I have checked through multiple Q&A's throughout this FAQ and tried them all.

hello,

i followed this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288865 and successfully installed 'dkms' and 'bcmwl-kernel-source' via usb, in hope that Broadcom will be detected.

I'm new-ish to Ubuntu.
