Wireless BCM4311 not detected

[sundial40]

I finally trashed Windows on this machine and installed Mint (Mate) 16. Every thing went well but it is not detecting my wifi chips. I ran mintwifi and got the following result but cannot understand it and more importantly, what am I to do to get the wifi working?

Consider using Linux Mint 17 as there is only about a month of support left for Linux Mint 16
This is reported to work in most cases

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

[sundial40]

I ran the code offered " sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree " and it loaded something to my system but I have no idea what it is or how it can restore my wireless capability. Please explain.

It's the driver firmware need by the BCM 4311 wireless card to make it work.
you'll need to reboot or issue the following command in a terminal to see if it works:

Code: Select all

sudo modeprobe b43

Wait a minute and check wireless.

if the command returns any errors post them here.

[sundial40]

John, thnaks for the quick response. I ran the code suggested and got the following result.
"paul@paul-Presario-C500-RZ342UA-ABA ~ $ sudo modeprobe b43

kc1di typo, command is

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe b43

[kc1di]

Thanks JeremyB , it was a typo.

[sundial40]

I corrected the typo and ran it again, modprobe b43. It asks for my PW then just sits there and is doing nothing. I am leaving running but see not activity on screen or any activity on the HD. Any suggestions? I finally tried to shut the system down but it would not shut down. It just goes to the MINT LOGO and stops there with no evident action on the HD or on screen. To shut it off, I had to pull the plug.
Any thoughts?

Most likely a driver that was installed caused a problem,

Code: Select all

lsmod

[sundial40]

Ran lsmod and got the following: What do I do now?

I bet wl module is the problem, so

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -rv wl

and

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe b43

might fix it. If it is fixed the wl module will need to be blacklisted

[sundial40]

Thanks for the response. I ran the code suggested and got the following. What next?

sudo modprobe -rv wl
FATAL: Module wl is in use.

[kc1di]

you need to remove the wl driver and make sure b43 is not black listed.

You can remove the wl driver in synaptic search for bcmwl-kernel-source (if it's installed mark for complete removal and remove it.
now in a terminal type

Code: Select all

sudo gedit

(i'm assuming your using cinnamon desktop - If not replace gedit with your favorite text editor)
when that comes up navigate to

Code: Select all

 /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

check to make sure b43 is not blacklisted (if it's there place a # sign in front of that line or simply delete it from the list) and add wl to the list of those blacklisted. Also make sure ssb is not blacklisted.
when that is done,
in a terminal type:

Code: Select all

modprobe b43

wait a minute or reboot and see if wireless is working.
good luck.

Note: a little explanation: WL is the sta driver for broadcom wireless cards and works well with some of them, but not yours. b43 is another driver which works with your card but the two drivers conflict with each other and can't be installed on the same system at the same time.
you may also be able to install and uninstall these driver using the mint driver management tool found in the system menu.

[sundial40]

I was able to remove bcmwl using synaptic, but when I tried to see if b 43 was blacklisted I got the following response:
paul@paul-Presario-C500-RZ342UA-ABA ~ $ /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
bash: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf: Permission denied

you have to open the edit in root mode.
from a terminal

Code: Select all

sudo gedit 

give your password when asked.

[JeremyB]

Run this in terminal and post the results back

Code: Select all

 wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script

It is a nice script that helps diagnose wireless issues, was made by a few posters on the ubuntu forum

I should have added that I tried to access the Blacklist, but could not. See the following:

The blacklisted modules are listed in the wireless script results. I am at work so I hope kc1di has time to help you

[kc1di]

Ok I don't see b43 in the scipts blacklist, So you should be all set.


The script you ran says that wl is still loading.
try this again

Code: Select all

modprobe -rv wl

then

Code: Select all

modprobe b43
