eth%d: 5.100.82.38 driver failed with code 21 -> Bug #732677: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not working on Wireless Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01) - using Acer Aspire 9300 in Ubuntu 11.10
I'm new to this so please be gentle!
I've spent this evening trying to get wifi to work on my old Acer Aspire 9300.
Installed Wifi-Radar but it will not let me select a device.
I've looked through old posts but whatever I try doesn't seem to help.
Any suggestions please?
:-)

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 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 rfkill; 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.
Regards,
Mark

I am pretty sure that your BCM4311 wireless adapter is experiencing the
following Broadcom driver bug in Ubuntu 11.10:
https:/
I suggest installing bcmwl-kernel-source (5.60.48.
from maverick (Ubuntu 10.10) using gdebi
Solution is described here:
https:/
Then reboot your PC and run the following commands to enable your
wireless adapter:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install rfkill
rfkill unblock all
sudo rfkill unblock all
Then retest wireless using NetworkManager

Sorry, but it still doesn't work and I believe that I followed the instructions correctly.
In fact I now sometimes loose the mouse control when my PC first starts, which is new. (Connected?)
I installed gdebi
i downloaded the file
Removed bcmwl-kernel-source
installed the downloaded file via gdebi
Rebooted
Ran the scripts.... Nothing
Really am sorry to be a noob, but this is quite annoying being tethered to my router! :-)

Try this instead:
Copy-paste the following 3 commands into the Terminal.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install firmware-
Then REBOOT your PC and retest wireless.

Thanks Mark Rijckenberg, that solved my question.
