b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode15.fw" not found -> wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down -> Wireless Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01) not working on Dell Inspiron 1545 in Ubuntu 10.04

Asked by wordsmyth2

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a dual boot with Windows 7, and while my wireless internet connection works fine with Windows - which I wish to abandon once I've settled this Ubuntu problem - it isn't recognized by Ubuntu 10.04. (It DOES work okay if I use my Netgear USB connector, which enables me to do this...) When I right click to edit connection details, the window says DEVICE NOT AVAILABLE, though I can get in and edit my details etc. I've tried some of the solutions posted on Launchpad that have worked for others but not, alas, for myself.

As a previous helper suggested, I've done the following and hope someone can enlighten me:

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: Please copy-paste the following command from the https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu website in Firefox into the Linux Terminal. Do NOT copy-paste from the Email message into the Terminal, as that will only copy PART of the command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word restart. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below from Firefox into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!

sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | egrep 'ound|irmware|eth|ath|wl|ipw|b43|witch|ndiswrapper'; iwconfig; grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/*; grep wl /etc/modprobe.d/*; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command.

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

Regards,

Mark

Thanks Mark!

Here's the full terminal output. No to see if the wireless connection is working......!
My new laptop is a DELL Inspiron 1545.

Cheers,

I don't see the output. Attachments don't work on Launchpad.

Please post the output here:

It wasn't an attachment - I pasted it here as directed. When I click on your link I arrive right back here.
So.....do I run the command again, so you have a copy?

Best,

    Hi Mark:

    When I click on the link you indicate, I get the following message:

      Lost something?

    There’s no page with this address in Launchpad.

    Check that you entered the address correctly, or search for it:

    Please advise?

Whoops! The link on your email was incomplete....not all of the text was highlighted.

I've re-run the command, results as follows:

(I'm pasting this in as directed and NOT sending it as attachment - same as previous time)
And as a precaution, I'm also sending it via separate email...

Well, this time the copy/paste WORKED!

Mark Rijckenberg (markrijckenberg) said : 		#9

Hi,

You need to install the following Broadcom driver package using aptitude or Synaptic package manager: bcmwl-kernel-source

This will of course require a working wirED Internet connection in Ubuntu. (wired, not wireless)

For example: using the Terminal, you need to run the following commands to install bcmwl-kernel-source:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install bcmwl-kernel-source

Then reboot and retest wireless using Network Manager.

A similar explanation can be found at the end of this thread:
