http://ubuntuforums.org – Important information: Comp - dell Inspiron e1705 OS - Win 7/ Ubuntu 8.04 w/ Kernel 2.6.22.19 Wireless Card - intel/pro Broadcom Wireless 3945ABG Hey I'm trying to get my wirless card working with Ubuntu ver. 8.04 kernel 2.6.22.19(I'm need this particular version for research I'm doing) and I have figured the problem is a driver issue. I started off using this guide to install the ndiswrapper, and tried to install the driver which was provided from dell(I use an Inspiron e1705 dual booted with Win 7), which didn't work. and then I downloaded the driver designed especially for my card(intel/p (HowTos)

I cannot get the wireless card on a Dell Inspiron 14 to work. I am using SUSE 11.2 16 bit OS, which does not recognize the wireless card. The card is Dell 1397 mini card with a chipset BCM4315 - a broadcom wireless chip.

I would appreciate a link to a driver and firmware for the card or, if I need to use ndiswrapper a link to the appropriate 16 bit windows driver.

Dear all, I am working in Ubuntu 8.04.....I have my Acer laptop...My wireless card as i found by the command, $ lshw -C network is Intel/PRO/Wireless 3945abg and driver module is iwl3945.... i had no problem with wireless for somedays...few days back i am not able to connect into wireless...

To begin I have a Dell Inspiron 1520. I am dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10. My wireless card is built into the computer. The card is an Intel Pro wireless 3945 ABG. Currently wireless is work on Win 7 but not Ubuntu. The other day when I started Ubuntu wifi was working great but now when I right click on the networks icon the "enable wireless" option is listed in dark grey.

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%.

My laptop is Dell Inspiron 5420, with two graphic cards:

Intel HD Graphics 4000 Nvidia GeForce GT 630M

I took the Thinkpad T400 configuration guide as an example to configure my Linux, but I only get the integrated card to work, and the card is not using the Intel driver

Currently, the behavior of my system is:

using the intel driver in the Xorg.config, X cannot starts, reports cannot find

I'm using DELL inspiron 5420 (14R 3rd generation), and tried to install ubuntu 10.10, 11.10, 12.04, 12.04.1 but each and every time it doesn't support any of my driver such as network card, wireless driver, video driver and as well as audio and touch-pad driver.

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 Server Edition on my Dell Power Edge Server and the ethernet card is not working. I am able to see the ethernet card as Broadcom 5709 when i use lspci.

However, the ethernet card is not working and it is not connecting to the network. What should i do to diagnose and fix the same.

Would the bce driver help? if yes how do i install it on the server?

I used this package https://www.dropbox.com/s/jerkl6uqal5ylv3/wireless-bcm43142-dkms-6.20.55... 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 have a dell inspiron 1525 32bits with ubuntu 11.04 gnome 2.32.1, processor architecture i686 and upgraded the kernel from 2.6.38-8 to 2.6.39. Everything appears to be fine except that I no longer have wireless. I tried to install the driver with 'Additional Drivers' and I see that the Broadcom STA wireless driver is no activated.
