[SOLVED] Wireless Network Problem hp compaq 6710b
Hello,
i am Fabi and i just installed Linux mint. This is my first contact with Linux. Unfortunately i cannot find any wireless network settings. Only for cable.
I didnt find a solution so far.

Thank you!

Re: Wireless Network Problem hp compaq 6710b
For knowing your wifi card and driver, open Terminal and run
Code: Select all
inxi -N
Re: Wireless Network Problem hp compaq 6710b
Hallo,
thank you for your answer!
AFter typing inxi -N in Terminal:
Card -1: Broadcom BCM4311 802.11a/a/b/g driver: b43-pci-bridge
Card- 2: Broadcom NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express driver: tg3

Re: Wireless Network Problem hp compaq 6710b
The Broadcom STA / wl driver as suggested by administrollaattori, does not always work on 4311 and 4312 cards even though it claims to support them (many users report success, but also many report failure with this driver).Fabu wrote:Code: Select all
Card -1: Broadcom BCM4311 802.11a/a/b/g driver: b43-pci-bridge
For 4311 a better option is to install the package firmware-b43-installer from Software Manager, or using apt install firmware-b43-installer in the terminal. In my experience it is more reliable with this card. Many times, I've helped users with BCM4311 problems to switch from the STA driver to this one.
To install that package, though, you need an internet connection, for example using an ethernet cable.

Re: Wireless Network Problem hp compaq 6710b
EDIT> Ok, i connected a Ethernet Cabel and used in terminal :
apt install firmware-b43-installer
It seems like the driver was installed now. What is my next step? Where can i find wireless networks now?
Thanks
The following text is not important anymore
Thank you for your answer!
Well since i have no connection to the internet i downloaded the driver and copyed to the computer. I tried this:
http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/692
Instead of
I wrote:
because the data is named" broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2"
"no such file or directory" it says.
What is my mistake?[/s][/size]

Re: Wireless Network Problem hp compaq 6710b
After installing the package please reboot. If you click the network icon in the tray (bottom-right next to the clock), do you see wireless networks?
If not please run these commands again and post the output (to see if there are any changes):

Re: Wireless Network Problem hp compaq 6710b
Hey,
no change with inxi -N
With rfkill list nothing happens.
the Software manager says the driver is installed.
There are no wireless networks shown in the Tray. Only the cable network symbol.

Does inxi -N still show driver b43-pci-bridge at your wireless device?

It seems everything i do is set back after restart. Like my standard searchengine in Firefox and my standart keyboard layout!
The Software Mangaeer says driver installed but after restart not installed.

Please post the output of the command here. When posting on the forum, you can select the output and then click the "Code" button to wrap it in code tags like I've done with my commands. It makes terminal outputs more readable.

Is that the number you were asking for?
Re: Wireless Network Problem hp compaq 6710b
Is there a button close to the display with a wifi symbol? Push it and check rfkill
Re: Wireless Network Problem hp compaq 6710b
Yes there is a "touchsensitiv button. all the buttons are working except the WIFI button in linux. It would be the same like the switch in the tray.. both are not working

You might have to reset BIOS to defaults unless you are dual boot with windows if the following fails
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe -r hp_wmi
Code: Select all
sudo rfkill unblock all

Re: Wireless Network Problem hp compaq 6710b
That wireless switch can be quite problematic on Linux. If you still have Windows, you can use HP Wireless Assistant do turn wireless on again (worked when my dad had a 6730b, which is a quite comparable laptop I think). Other people on the web suggest that there is a BIOS setting to ignore the wifi on/off button.
JeremyB's suggestion is also worth trying, he just put a few excessive [] and [ code ] signs in his commands by accident.
