Correct wireless driver for Ubuntu 11.10.

Asked by Luke Larsen

I have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit version and I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. Now I consider myself to be relatively computer savy and I have done everything I can imagine (which is alot) to resolve this issue independently. However, it has gotten to the point that I have just rearranged furniture to connect my computer to the internet with a ethernet cord. My computer is an Acer Aspire 7745G with an Acer Nplift 802.11b/g/n wireless card. I thought I read something about this card being a rebranded Atheros wireless card but I do not recall exactly what I read and I can not find it again (as I went throught an ubelievable number of forums and wesites trying to figure this problem out). I downloaded and removed so many drivers and programs I completely confused myself. I am beginning to think wireless Ubuntu is an urban ledgend:) I have done everything I can do. Please help. Grateful but disgruntled Ubuntu user, Luke Larsen. Thankyou for your attention in this matter.

This is what I think should happen: I think there needs to be precisely exact information available concerning the various wireless cards or computer models and the respective wireless drivers which are compatible with Ubuntu 11.10. This needs to be definitive and conclusive and available on the primary Ubuntu websites. It would be nice if other people didn't have to get a massive migraine headache like I did. There is so much conflicting information in the forums and on various websites the confusion makes a person dizzy (literally). If this is, in fact, not the problem then the problem must be clearly defined and communicated and the solution or solutions must be clearly defined and communicated as well.

I'm sorry I hope I'm not wasting your time but I am new to Ubuntu and I do
not understand what you need me to do. Do I need to enter this as a
command in the terminal? I just need to know exactly what to do and then I
will quickly send the information. Thank you for your immediate response,
Luke.

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->Accessories->Terminal"

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://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure 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 rfkill; 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|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|ireless|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt5|rt6|rt7|usb|witch|wl';sudo dmidecode|egrep 'anufact|roduct|erial|elease'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt6|rt7|wmi|witch|wl'; cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; ps -aux|egrep 'wpa|icd|etwork'; 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

Please copy-paste each command below one by one into a Terminal. Hit <ENTER> after each command.

echo "blacklist acer_wmi" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wicd

After running the commands above, make sure to select "Load Defaults" in the BIOS, save the configuration.

Then reboot and retest wireless using the brcmsmac driver and using wicd network manager.

If that does not help, then your wireless card is probably disabled by a hardware switch, a
special key combination (Fn-F2, etc...), by incorrect BIOS settings for
wireless, or a COMBINATION of these factors...

There might also be a BIOS option that allows you to have the wireless
functionality controlled "By application"

Search for the "by application" option in the BIOS and select it (if
possible)....

Also run the following 2 Terminal commands to try to change the rfkill
state of your wireless chipset:

rfkill unblock all

sudo rfkill unblock all

Then retest wireless.

I have no further suggestions to make...

i also suggest you remove the xbmc ppa as it doesn't support oneiric. You should also run:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

To tidy your packages.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Luke Larsen for more information if necessary.
