Error while installing wireless driver in my laptop

Hello,

Check the Broadcom drivers in the Synaptic Package Manager.

Regards,

Allan :)

Try:

sudo cp -arf /var/lib/dpkg /var/lib/dpkg.backup
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Sir,
@ahambidge (ahambidge) I have Checked the Broadcom drivers in the Synaptic Package Manager and tried to install them but the firmware is creating the same problem and the same error code.

You should remove this ppa:

It is causing warnings

I believe your wireless chipset is experiencing this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/jockey/+bug/655111

As a workaround you can run the following Terminal command:

sudo apt-get remove --purge firmware-b43-installer

and then use the STA (bcmwl-kernel-source) driver instead.

Then reboot and retest wireless using the STA driver.

Sir ,
    I am very much habituated with the remastersys. I dont know is there any such updated software like Remastersys. If I remove the ppa you suggested ,is that create any problem to my remastersys ? If not please give the command or instruction ,how to remove that particular ppa.
thanks

The correct version of the firmware you need is the low power package firmware-b43-lpphy-installer.
You can manually install it yourself with the command:
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
Probably would be necessary to remove completely (via synaptic package manager) or apt-get purge the other wrong
firmware-b43-installer.
If the Additional Drivers/Broadcom B43 driver choice actually used the wrong firmware for your chip (i.e. you didn't manually do it yourself at some point), then you could file a bug.
Also check for any leftover "blacklist b43" lines in all files in /etc/modprobe.d. Deactivating the additional driver puts one in, as well as installing any STA drivers.
The b43 driver should work fine in 11.04 for you with the correct firmware.

Several bugs have already been filed on the "additional drivers" not installing the lpphy version of the firmware, so you could add yourself to the bug (click on the little yellow circle next to the question "Does this affect you?" for bug #706487 and/or bug #859569

Yes really its very difficult to handle I will do it soon as I am reading some guideline about it here on https://apkadviser.com/ site see the link for more details.

There are some very similar problems occurring in the project as you can see here https://smokesandvape.com/ some of its detail and kindly help us about it.
