Followed wireless guide no video, mouse, keyboard drivers not working.

Asked by Jason Carter

Hello. I have just recently followed these instructions to install my wireless driver on Ubuntu 12.10 on a Macbook Pro 8,1:

First:

"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mpodroid/mactel
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer

Then install the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic or, if you have the pae kernel installed, the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic-pae package. While this tutorial deals with Oneiric, the same instructions for the wireless work for Precise, with the above installation of "linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic" replaced with "linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-precise-generic".

Edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add the line:

blacklist ndiswrapper
Create or edit the file /etc/pm/config.d/modules and make sure the wireless modules (b43 and bcma) are blacklisted:

SUSPEND_MODULES="b43 bcma"
Reboot and the wireless should work."

Upon restarting I could not log into Ubuntu because I had lost support of both my Macbook Pro keyboard and trackpad, as well as support for a USB keyboard and mouse. I believe the graphic driver has also been changed/disabled as the aspect ratio is different at the login screen. Any suggestions?

Thank you
