http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hey guys, I installed Arch on Sunday, and haven't been able to get the wireless card working. I've installed the correct drivers with fwcutter, and went through the steps with iwconfig, but when I tried obtaining an IP address with dhcpcd, it times out. Also, I installed wicd, which tries to connect but says Unable to get IP address. As it says in the title, I'm using Arch linux and my wireless chip is a Broadcom BCM3412. Thanks in advance!

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.

Hi I just deleted my windows XP and installed Ubuntu 9.10 earlier this morning. I used wired connection to get drivers for my wireless network card.

When I did lspci, the very last line states:

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 recently installed BackTrack 5 R1 on my late 2011 13" Macbook Pro 8,1 and everything installed fine after some helpful Google searches.

One of the main issues I am having is that the Wireless card on my Macbook isn't being recognized. When I use Wicd Network Manager it doesn't see any wireless networks (No Wireless Networks Found).

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on my new Dell Studio 1558. After installing the broadcom proprietary driver for my wireless card, the wireless for my laptop worked fine.

I've been trying to connect with ipv6 enabled networks with my Broadcom Wireless card under Ubuntu 12.04. The wireless card model is BCM4306.

$lspci $Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) $Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Hello,Hoping someone can help here. Recently I have noticed a sudden degradation of wireless performance. As I live in a small apartment, this was unexpected. Changing broadcast channels, setting static DNS, getting closer to the router all did not help. Consequently, I decided to switch from G to N thinking that would boost performance.

Hi, I've recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Dell inspiron N4010. My wireless connection is totally erratic. Initially, I was able to connect to my Wireless network, but after subsequent reboots, I was unable to access my Wireless network. Wireless network shows as disconnected. I've tried many solutions..

sudo rfkill unblock all

worked once..
