Wifi not working on HP Laptop

[Tool]

Hi guys, took Ultimate Edition 4.2 Gamers 32 bit for a test on live disk. My wifi isn't picking up anything and I have lots of wifi. The wifi is on and additional drivers says I am currently using an alternate Broadcom driver. Everything's working out the box even my quick launch touch panel, but not the wifi. Any suggestions?

Broadcom 4322AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi Adapter Is my wifi model and I'm on an HP Pavilion dv4-1275mx Entertainment Notebook PC

Thanks guys.

I have similar issues with my Lenovo and Dell so you could try installing the bcmwl Kernel source. With me, my wi-fi partially works, like..it will go but then if there is anything heavy going on it crashes out. With Lenovo it is partially because of the kill switch(but I need such things)

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe wl

Code: Select all

iwconfig

Have you tryed the windows wireless driver install tool? If not download or use driver disc go to sytem administration and its at the botom of the list .

bcmwl may be the problem then..

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source

Code: Select all

sudo reboot

No go. All it did was remove the proprietary driver altogether and had nothing available for a Wi-Fi connection. I got the driver to work in Ubuntu and Lubuntu with no issue. I'm currently building my new PC with a quad core AMD and can't wait to give this a go on that.

On an unrelated note, how do I go about doing this?
It's a grub config edit. Do I just simply input into the terminal?

I found the driver for your wifi use the driver install it will probably ask for the ini file so you will have to explore the driver file to find it select it then it will install.,...

You should also try plug in your lan cable and go admin synaptic and search for broadcom look down the list there is a dkms sorce that fits your hardware and Mark it for install click apply after its done restart your comp without the cable and see if it works if it Doesnt work after that reconnect the cable and do the same search for broadcom in synaptic and it should come up with the drivers after you installed the sorce.... read the discriptions and match to your hardware... mark for install then apply reboot and test it...Also there is a recall on the powercord just to give u heads up.....

Ok, much thanks. I'll give that a try
