Hi,
Please first connect your wired network adapter 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:
If you are using the Gnome interface, open the Terminal console via "Applications-
If you are using the Unity interface, the easiest way to open the Terminal is to use the 'search' function on the dash. Or you can click on the 'More Apps' button, click on the 'See more results' by the installed section, and find it in that list of applications. A third way, available after you click on the 'More Apps' button, is to go to the search bar, and see that the far right end of it says 'All Applications'. You then click on that, and you'll see the full list. Then you can go to Accessories > Terminal after that.
So the methods in Unity are:
Dash > Search for Terminal
Dash > More Apps > 'See More Results' > Terminal
Dash > More Apps > Accessories > Terminal
Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from the https:/
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/
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
Step 5: Please also clarify if you installed Ubuntu to the harddisk and are running from a harddisk install OR if you are only testing Ubuntu in a LiveCD session.
Regards,
Mark

HP Pavillion Laptop.. DV6225
Unbuntu is installed on the harddrive.. and this is the only operating system on this computer. I have been running Ubuntu from initial 10.04 LTS installation and all upgrades till this one ..and wireless worked fine... I have installed Ubuntu 64 10.04 using DVD/CD and the wireless works fine..So it has to be software...
Thanks for your help

In my opinion, the following Terminal output (that you sent us) shows us what the wireless issues are:
"

Your wireless adapter BCM4311 is not using the wl driver
(contained in bcmwl-kernel-
instead. But you blacklisted the b43 driver that is required here.
I suggest running the following Terminal commands to try to fix the
damage:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
After installing b43-fwcutter, make sure to REBOOT your PC!!
Then RETEST wireless.

Also when I go to install hardware.. the B43 is not available as an
option... but the info below says it is already installed. In prior
versions that was a choice but not the standard broadcom offer.. which
always has worked in prior versions..

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01)
lrbellmorejr@
According to what I am reading the rev 01 does not support the B43 driver....I was using the STA on prior versions of Ubuntu and it worked fine... now this version of Ubuntu doesnt recognize the STA driver it appears.. right now my system says there is no hardware driver to activate ..it is looking for the STA apparently but when I install that driver.. the new 11.04 doesnt recognize the STA driver it appears... maybe I am wrong..see below
Supported chip types
BCM4303 (802.11b-only chips, uses b43legacy)
BCM4306 (Rev. 2 uses b43legacy, Rev. 3 uses b43)
BCM4311 rev 1 (only the 2.4GHz part)
BCM4311 rev 2 (only the 2.4GHz part) starting with 2.6.25
BCM4312 (linux-kernel 2.6.32 is needed, 2.6.33 or latter is recommen
I don't know what the 2.4GHZ part is..or isnt on my computer.. hope this helps.. I cant get the STA driver even to be recognized as a wireless device - does not recognize any wireless device...
and the B43 at least shows that there is a wireless device but says no hardware installed.

I finally resolved the problem by running the command for the B43 firmware for booting from Live CD... the computer then found the B43 drivers.. the wireless worked and when I rebooted the wireless worked... don't know the underlying issue but I had done all the other commands 3-5 times.. installed and uninstalled the STA drivers.. tried that and they were recognized but the system reported no firmware installed... tried installing B43 firmware...and the system didnt see it... removed the STA and B43 firmware.
CASE CLOSED... LOL Thanks .. Hope you can figure out what / how .. etc.. I don't know enough about Linux or Unix programing ... just was desperate.. again thanks for all your help
