Can't install bcmwl-kernel-source

Hey sorry for not notifying y'all that I was gone for a week w/ out internet acsess. I ended up buying the little panda wireless adapter recommended earlier to me on this page. It works like a charm. I decided that all of this trouble wasn't worth the $15 for the adapter. Thank you anyways for all the help I really, really appreciate it!

As I expected.

Time is money and sometimes best to spend a wee bit to save the time and effort.

Just noticed something in review.

Code: Select all

cat /proc/cmdline;

gave you this.

Code: Select all

BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-37-generic root=UUID=2baae211-760c-4f6f-a651-5f3d1dd04755 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7

No RESUME= is showing, which means you either have no swap partition nor file, or haven't entered it in to the RESUME areas so that sleep and hibernate will work.

Here's mine to show how it should look.

Code: Select all

mint16@mint16 ~ $ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=14f23016-8f05-4bdc-be9f-a2110bfea1da ro resume=UUID=8947bf3d-1005-4664-8749-2500529924c9 quiet splash vt.handoff=7

Here's some threads to start you on your way, but only if you want sleep and/or hibernate.
