Wireless is disabled

Was it working on the previous system you had. Maybe it is disabled in the bios.

If it was disabled in bios, the OS wouldn't see it.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx

Use a wired connection, makes life a lot easier. Can you also give the output of:

rfkill list

Thanks

I installed Ubuntu to work side by side with XP. Wireless is still working
well with XP.
The output is copied below.

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 lsmod. 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 apt-get update; sudo apt-get 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 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|usb|witch|wl'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|ndiswrapper|NPE|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|witch|wl'; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state; sudo lsmod

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

The output of terminal after giving the command is below

Hi,

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

The problem in this case is that you have installed the wrong wireless
driver, which is ndiswrapper.

You only need b43-fwcutter (not ndiswrapper) for wireless to work.

So you should first deactivate and uninstall ndiswrapper.

Run the following command to uninstall ndiswrapper:

sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-modules-1.9
ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Run the following command to start editing the
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file using gedit:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

ADD the following line to the end of the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file and SAVE the change:

blacklist ndiswrapper

And the error "b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load failed" should mean that b43-fwcutter is not installed yet on your pc. And that means that the Broadcom firmware for your wireless card is not loaded or installed yet.

Please proceed with the following commands:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter

b43-fwcutter exists in the Ubuntu repositories, but you will need a working wired Internet connection in Ubuntu in order to locate it and install it.

The only way to do that - in your case - is to connect the pc to the wireless router using a LAN cable, instead of using wireless.

After blacklisting ndiswrapper and installing b43-fwcutter, please reboot and retest wireless.

Regards,

Mark

Small correction: aptitude is not installed by default in Ubuntu 10.10.

So you will ALSO need to run the following commands AFTER removing and blacklisting ndiswrapper:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter

Hi Mark
I tried to do all but some command did not work or I have some other
problems. For example it says that ndiswrapper-modules 1.9 cannot be
removed. b43 fw-cutter is installed at the end but my wireless is not
working yet. I am copying below the output of terminal.
Best regards

I suspect that my previous instructions were not correctly understood...

The following line

blacklist ndiswrapper

is NOT a command to run in the Terminal, but a configuration LINE to ADD inside the

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

file.

You can EDIT the file using this COMMAND:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

So you will ALSO need to run the following commands AFTER removing and blacklisting ndiswrapper:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter

I have no other suggestions to make, as the previous instructions I gave you, should have solved the issue....
