cBroadcom modem turns on but will not connect on HP Presario V2000 driver Broadcom 4318 (02)

Asked by Alton Cedervall

I have followed the steps on your answer for installing Broadcom drivers and I got the modem light to go on, but the modem will not connect to the Internet when I used the proper key. I tried a different modem with its key with the same result. I installed my HP wireless printer using a USB cable and then tried get the laptop to recognize it wirelessly with no luck, The funny thing is that with your version 15.10 and Microsoft windows it works fine. Please help as I can only believe that it must be a software glitch. Thank you.
