b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found -> b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the latest firmware (version 4) -> BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03) not working on HP pavillion 7000 in Ubuntu 9.04

my wireless card can't get no signal,on HP pavillion 7000.

We need more information, what kind of wireless card do you have, have you tried installing proprietary drivers, etc.

Hi,

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy-paste each line below to the Terminal then hit <enter> after each line)

cat /etc/lsb-release
sudo iwlist scanning
sudo lshw -C network
lspci -nn
lsusb
uname -a
dmesg | grep ound
dmesg | grep b43
iwconfig

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output from each command) on this thread

Keep in mind that one or more of the following 5 basic components need to be configured correctly so that wireless can work correctly in Linux:

Wireless configuration in the BIOS, hardware wireless switch setting, active wireless driver version, the firmware for the wireless chipset (stored as a file in Linux), and the configuration of the wireless parameters in wicd or NetworkManager (SSID broadcast settings, encryption settings, name of wireless interface stored in wicd, the chosen channel for wireless transmission, ...) .

Regards,

Mark

Mark this is the last after putting all the commands;

o no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:""

pan0 no wireless extensions.

also the wireless card the lights are not on.

Hi Eduardo,

I need the output of ALL the commands, not just the output of iwconfig.

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following command (copy-paste the line below into a Terminal, press enter, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again)

sudo lshw -C network; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; uname -a; dmesg | grep ound; dmesg | grep b43; iwconfig

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread

Step 4: Please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known) on this thread

==============================================================================================================

Keep in mind that one or more of the following 5 basic components need to be configured correctly so that wireless can work correctly in Linux:

Wireless configuration in the BIOS, hardware wireless switch setting, active wireless driver version, the firmware for the wireless chipset (stored as a file in Linux), and the configuration of the wireless parameters in wicd or NetworkManager (SSID broadcast settings, encryption settings, name of wireless interface stored in wicd, the chosen channel for wireless transmission, ...) .

In case your wireless interface is DISABLED, please make sure the /etc/network/interfaces file only contains the following 4 lines (you can edit the file using the command gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces) :

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto <name of wireless interface>
iface <name of wireless interface> inet dhcp

where you need to replace <name of wireless interface> with a real value inside this file: wlan0 or ath0 or eth1 or something like that. You can find the right value by running the command iwconfig

Here is an example of a real, working /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

Regards,

Mark

Ok I will
