How to get wireless and wired network working again on my Dell Inspiron 1501?
- by Angelo Daul
My wireless doesn't work with Ubuntu 12.04.(it worked with 10.04 LTS) I have a Dell Inspiron 1501. I followed the steps posted below:(from a similar tag, but...)
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source
echo "blacklist brcmsmac" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "blacklist bcma" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
....and now i have no Network device on my PC(wired or wireless)
I can use wired conection if i start my laptop with a"previsious version of Linux"...2.26.43...
I am a beginner in Linux
These are my hardware:
05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [
14e4:4311] (rev 01)
08:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX [
