Can't establish connection to WLAN-network

Post by cr4cksh07 »

Hello,
I have just installed Rebecca and I am now not able to establish any WLAN connections. I can see the different networks though. The connection fails telling me that the IP configuration is not available.

I am sorry that the following is in german. :oops:
/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/mintWifi.py gives me:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-dkms
Ignore any errors about package not found

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe bcma

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe bcrmsmac
It might work but often it needs a reboot
