http://ubuntuforums.org – Wireless was working great until I upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. It sort of seemed I'd needed to rename the device from eth1 to wlan0, but maybe was another laptop. Anyhow, I tried that, and went from a quick boot that could see the AP but would not connect to a 2-3 minute boot with no network config. Obviously, I switched back to eth1. Now I just still cannot connect. Here's the info the HOW-TO-POST suggested I provide... 1 ) Machine Brand and Model (PC/Laptop): IBM Thinkpad T42p 2 ) Wireless Brand, Model and Wireless Chipset: lspci: Code: 02:02.0 Network controller [ (Hardware)

I can't get my Broadcoam BCM4322 to connect to a protected access point. I've tried the drivers from rpmfusion, and tried to build the module with the source+binary package from Broadcom, all with no luck. The failure seems to happen during the WPA negotiation.

I'm having a problem connecting to my wireless network on an IBM Thinkpad T23 running ubuntu 9.10.

My wireless device is a TRENDnet TEW-421PC wireless PC Card.

I've tried it in Windows XP and it works great. Strong signal, easy to set up.

I wiped windows XP because I was having problems with GRUB and wanted to use ubuntu anyway.

Hi,

My wifi speed drops from ~600 kbps to >50 kbps within a few seconds after connecting to the wifi. There is no problem with speeds on my windows 7 environment nor my phone. I have tried other distros like fedora and Gnome Ubuntu but the problem remains. Due to these low speeds i cannot update or even check what the problem is any help will be appreciated.

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 did a straight install (removed Windows) of Ubuntu 9.04 onto my Thinkpad x200. When I connect via ethernet to my wireless hub, I'm good. But when I try to connect with my LAN using the wireless connection, the machine does not recognize any LAN as available.
