I have been searching for a tutorial that works for my laptop:
HP DV6500. Most got me little more than the driver supplied in the “restricted driver” portion of Ubuntu. Just odd timeout/irq/tx/rx errors, and no connection at all.

Now that I have done your instructions, I have wireless!
Thanks for the post!

@ Jose :

Please copy paste output from command :
# dmesg
# lspci
# iwconfig
italo maia 11.30.07 / 6am

Well, i don’t know if it worked here. iwconfig returned me:
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

ppp0 no wireless extensions.

My wireless is not even listed in the ubuntu net manager.

“no wireless extension” have mean, your hardware can’t detected

Well, this is the output of brand new ubuntu gutsy installation.
Despite i’m terrified with the possibility of re-installing Gutsy(it usually takes a while, till i can setup the system as i like it), i’ll try this tuto again, and will post the results of the commands again.

Dude, now, it just worked! This is amazing! :D! I’so happy! Will pin point site in my blog, if you don’t mind. Big hug!

Oh, by the way, do you know if this card supports wpa2?

Hi!

I installed the restricted drivers using Ubuntu gutsy (they’re using bcm43xx-cutter), and the wireless card worked, briefly. After rebooting, nothing worked again. Tried your hints with promising results, but something is still wrong.

The wireless card can’t find any router, although I’m confident there is one within range. Also the LED on the laptop is not activated, as it was briefly when the card did work using restricted drivers.

@ Setomidor
Do you have install latest version of ndiswrapper?
Tuxor 12.08.07 / 3am

14

Thanks a lot! This made my wl work on HP/Compaq 6720S. At first it didn’t work, but I had an old driver loaded with ndiswrapper, so I had to unload that one with “ndiswrapper -r bcmwl5″ first. Loaded the driver you referred to and now it rocks!
DanBUK 12.08.07 / 5pm

I have been trying to get this working but am unsuccessful also..
I am setting my IP statically, but still cannot get any traffic to work.

Any ideas??

Cheers,
Dan.

It’s also working with a HP dv6545 (eg), great! But ndiswrapper from the repos was working, no need to manually download, compile and install!

i need help please

i have a compaq presario v3418la and i installed gutsy 3 days ago. At the beggining i could no start linux because it stops loading on the loading screen then i red that it may be the wireless card a broadcom bcm94311mcg so i entered this instruction on the boot:
boot options: pnpbios=off no acpi=off noapic and it worked.

I followed every step in this blog to install the wifi card but it doesnt work.

What i could get, was that the LED turned on blue when i quit the instruction boot options: pnpbios=off no acpi=off noapic but it doesnt start.

Please help

I ran through the steps… my wifi light is blue, when I boot up my wireless light on the router flashes non-stop for until Ubuntu 7.10 (64 bit) loads the desktop. Then the wireless light on the router stays solid and in Network Manager I see my networks name but I will not connect… my little “connecting” icon does its dance for about 1 minute then I revert back to wired. If I make any changes to add the essid (there is no other security) then Network Manager only shows Wired and Manual Configuration. As soon as I click the check box to make my wireless connection roaming my network shows up again but I can’t connect to it.

Heres’ the information:
lspci = 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02).

holy crud! I’ve never gotten this to work before, now it works perfectly! Must be the compiling ndiswrapper from source instead of getting from repos. thanks so much! I’m on a hp pavillion dv9008nr btw

Hello,

This looks great! I can’t download the driver though. Can you send it to me?

Thanks,

Sorry i can’t send the file to you… coz my bandwith is very poor… you can try to download from this link : http://www.stosha.net/WLANBroadcom.tar.gz
Grant 12.24.07 / 5pm

29

well I’m having bad luck all around. Your new link doesn’t work for me. I joined stosha but had no luck finding the driver. Can I just take my driver from the Vista partition at C:\windows\system32\drivers\bcmwl6.sys ? If so do I need to change its name?

Thank you

fantastic!
that is great.
it works perfectly.

invaleed 12.25.07 / 1pm

@Grant

Sorry, i also can’t download from the stosha.net, but i can download from rapidshare link
Ok… at another time, i can try to upload the driver again at the other web hosting
Or… anyone can send the driver to Grant ???
franganghi 12.25.07 / 3pm

yesterday i downloaded it from rapidshare, without any problem!
Grant 12.25.07 / 3pm

That would be great. I’ve searched the net and can’t find another driver.

I was having issues getting ndiswrapper to work properly, so I tried your method. Before I did this, my computer, a HP tx1000z, recognized that my wireless card existed on as “eth1″, but it didn’t function at all. The command iwconfig returned lo and eth0 as non-wireless (correctly) and eth1 as unable to scan. After trying your method, my computer does not recognize that eth1 exists. Here is the output from the last step:

and also,

Hi folks, I had some problems with my website ( disk space ), but I’ve took care of that .
I have 20GB of month bandwidth, and my site usually needs around 3-4 GB. That’s 16Gb spare :).

I’m now uploading driver to the site. I should be there in an hour.

I hit a snag while following the steps above. Any guess as to what would cause this? When I run apt-get update, it lists a bunch of packages and doesn’t install anything new. Kind of weird that apt-get requires me to insert the Ubuntu install CD.

My wireless modem on my hp2620us did not install properly… I am running 64-bit ubuntu and have had many hardware detect issues. I already ran through all the steps above and I even tried to get the latest ndiswrapper…

The card did work after reboot the first time… at least I was able to see my wireless network however I could not connect to it.

any suggestions anyone?

Below are the suggested tests to give you guys some info… it looks like its installed so why isn’t it working?

worked great here (dell inspiron 1721 with gutsy). It should be noted that installing ndiswrapper from source wasn’t neccessary. I just had to download the driver and follow the rest of your instruction. Anyways, great intro. Let’s hope the connection gaps will stop now.

Thanks!

@ Boris Burtin
Please copy paste your sources.list
I think you must edit your sources.list, pointing to repository in your country, to more faster update

Another success story — thank you for the the step-by-step process for the semi-novice linux users - I have wireless now.

Thank you.

Acer Extensa 5420 + Gutsy

Does not work. Interestingly enough, it does not work in an IDENTICAL way with bcm43xx, Gutsy’s ndiswrapper + my working driver from XP (dual booted) and your suggested setup.

Symptoms: lists networks, when I try to connect to mine (64-bit WEP) it hangs for a minute then rejects the key. A piece of log that I think is relevant:

Hi

I have little problem. In area where I live cable internet don’t exist we have only wifi connections. Now I am trying to move myself to ubuntu linux and after instalation I need internet connection according to above manual. I have windows on my machine also but I have no idea how to install packkages which I downloaded on windisck and copied on linux disk.

I hope I don’t disturb your time

Thank you, so much for you excellent article. Bookmarked for future reference!

First tried on gOS rocket, and it didn’t work, then on a fresh gutsy install, and now i’m totally happy! It worked very well. Hope that those who got the same problem at least will give a try to this method. I’ve read tons of tutorial and none of them work’d with my card.

Well, apparently I can’t read directions very well - when I followed these correctly, it worked just fine. The difference: making sure to change ‘version -r’ to my kernel version in a couple of the instructions.

Thanks invaleed!!
Your steps worked on my HP Pavilion DV6000.
I have Windows Vista (came with the laptop) and Ubuntu 7.10, clean default installation
My internet conection is only wifi, so I had to work offline in ubuntu and switch to windows to download the 2 files (nwdiswrapper1.49 and broadcom drivers), links are still working.

Just 2 remarks:

- I used “gedit” instead of “vim” in steps 2 and 6 (easier for me :-))
- In step 5, “linux headers” are already instaled by default and “build-essentials” are in the CDROM of ubuntu and can be istalled with Synaptic easily and offline.
