[zerocool]

Hi all

I use Ultimate edition 2.3 x86

Wrote this lines, because I'm desperate, I need urgent help for configuration my wireless card ( Broadcom 4328 802.11a/b/g/n) of my laptop hp tx2-1020 amd x86, I've been trying many months settings this.
I was trying with ndiswrapper and driver bcmwl5 but not served.
I hope their collaboration

Do you see it under hardware drivers?

Also does it show a device is "unmanaged" error?

If so try this:


Step 1 : Go to the Terminal

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf

Step 2 : A window would now popup displaying the contents of the nm-system-settings.conf file

Step 3 : Now Change "managed=false" to "managed=true"

Step 4 : Save the file and close the window.

Step 5 : Now back in the terminal type:

Code: Select all

 sudo killall nm-system-settings

step 6: try to connect again.You might have to reboot also,and then try.

If it doesn't work don't worry.Theres other work arounds to be tried.

You need the driver from "hardware drivers" AND an another driver from the internet. A friend of me had the same problem. And now it works.

Hello zerocool .

Here is your solution to this issue:

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following command (copy-paste the line below into a Terminal, press enter, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again)

Code: Select all

sudo lshw -C network; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; uname -a; dmesg | grep ound; dmesg | grep b43; iwconfig

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread


Keep in mind that one or more of the following 5 basic components need to be configured correctly so that wireless can work correctly in Linux:

Wireless configuration in the BIOS, hardware wireless switch setting, active wireless driver version, the firmware for the wireless chipset (stored as a file in Linux), and the configuration of the wireless parameters in wicd or NetworkManager (SSID broadcast settings, encryption settings, name of wireless interface stored in wicd, the chosen channel for wireless transmission, ...) .

In case your wireless interface is DISABLED, please make sure the /etc/network/interfaces file only contains the following 4 lines (you can edit the file using the command

Code: Select all

gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto <name of wireless interface>
iface <name of wireless interface> inet dhcp

where you need to replace <name of wireless interface> with a real value inside this file: wlan0 or ath0 or eth1 or something like that. You can find the right value by running the command iwconfig

Here is an example of a real, working /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

Thank you
Amir.
