Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release (Intrepid)? Thanks in advance.

description |
it sounds a lot like the bug listed "Hardware drivers show Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver in use, but wireless doesn't show in Network Manager" except i see my wireless in the network manager but it wont enable when i click it and if it does, it still wont work and the box is unpressed again. i have a Dell inspiron B130.
p.s. I googled some solutions but none worked for me |

p.s. I googled some solutions but none worked for me
Steps to fix:
1. Open the terminal
2. type this
sudo apt-get install build-essential
3. copy and paste OR type this (each is a separate line in the terminal)
wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
tar xjf b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
cd b43-fwcutter-011
make
cd ..
4. then
export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod
sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "/lib/firmware" wl_apsta.o
5. Now reboot Ubuntu and you should be good to go.
Note that you FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR might change with the distro. |
