b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found -> Wireless Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02) not working on Hewlett-Packard Pavilion zd8000 (EC303UA#ABA) /3082, BIOS F.34 09/20/2005 in Ubuntu 12.10
Hello,
I am running Ubuntu 12.10 on an HP Pavillion zd8000. Network manager would let me add network information, but would not connect me automatically or let me connect manually. I tried using wpa_supplicant instead of Network Manager but it didn't appear to work either (eth0 cannot scan?). I thought it might be a driver issue, however according to what I read online, wext should work for the Broadcom wireless card I have. So I'm lost as to what to do next.
Output of "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'chan|ssid'; cat /etc/network/
