Asked by Sanket Bhatia

Hi, cant seem to get WLAN working on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, on my Dell Inspiron 1525. Tried various things I found on the internet, including trying to install drivers, but nothing seems to work.
On the wireless networks tab in the connections, it says "Wireless disable". Can anyone help?

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.

Regards,

Mark

Okey , I'm not sure but try the following :

1. blacklist wl driver - > add a new line "blacklist wl" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
2. remove wl -> modprobe -r wl OR rmmod wl
3. Load ssb -> modprobe ssb
4. ifconfig eth1 down -> if error , ignore it
5. ifconfig eth1 up

All commands to be run as root .. If that didn't work , u may remove the blacklist line from blacklist.conf and reload wl driver to return to the previous state ..

Thanks for the tip... but can you please explain that to a dummy.. I have no idea how to add the new line "blacklist wl" for starters. The rest of the commands are to be entered one after the other in the terminal dialogue box, I guess?
Please explain patiently.. :)

No, do NOT blacklist the wl driver. The wl driver is the CORRECT driver for this specific wireless chipset BCM4312 (Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01))

The FIRST issue is that your wireless card is disabled by a hardware wireless killswitch.

Press the wireless button on the side or bottom of your laptop to re-activate wireless. It might be hidden or hard to find ;-)

The following output confirms this:

 *-network DISABLED
       description: Wireless interface
       product: BCM4312 802.11b/g

0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: yes

The SECOND issue is that there is a conflict between the ndiswrapper driver and the wl driver.

You need to UNINSTALL the ndiswrapper driver. I saw the ndiswrapper driver getting loaded in this output:

[ 20.434929] ndiswrapper version 1.55 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)

Run the following command to uninstall ndiswrapper:

sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude remove ndiswrapper-common

After re-enabling wireless by pressing the hardware switch, please retest wireless.

Thanks Mark Rijckenberg, that solved my question.

Wow! Thanks a lot! That was really dumb, that wireless was switched off! I never knew there was a button like that :)
