Hi,

Please first connect your network card 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: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy-paste each line below to the Terminal then hit <enter> after each line)

sudo aptitude install hwinfo
hwinfo --netcard
sudo iwlist scanning
lspci -nn
lsusb
uname -a
dmesg | grep ound
dmesg | grep witch
iwconfig

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output from each command) on this thread

Step 4: Please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known) on this thread

Keep in mind that one or more of the following 4 basic components need to be configured correctly so that wireless can work correctly in Linux:

Wireless configuration in the BIOS, hardware wireless switch setting, active wireless driver version, and firmware for the wireless chipset (stored as a file in Linux).

Regards,

Mark

Hi

Try This:

Step 1

Natively the card is detected and installed by the system, but the WiFi doesn't work, we'll go on removing the current driver :

First, we'll check that the drivers is installed :

$>find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*acx*"

You should get :

$>find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*acx*"
/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/acx
/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/acx/acx_pci.ko

Then, save them to /root or whatever you want.

$>sudo find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*acx*" -exec mv {} /root \;

And finally, make and update of the modules dépendencies :

$>depmod -a

End of the first step, go on with the new drivers installation.

Step 2

You have to download two things :

First one is to get the drivers, you can grab them here :

ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/wireless/dwl-g650+_rev_Bx/dwl-g650+_rev_bx_drv_v204.zip
( you can also use wget url of course )

Unpack them :

$>unzip dwl-g650+_rev_bx_drv_v204.zip

ok, then the second thing : we'll get ndiswrapper, it allows to install Windows Wifi Drivers under linux ! ;)

$>sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils

now, we just have to give ndiswrapper the right .inf file..

$>ndiswrapper -i /path/of/drivers/GPLUS.inf

and reboot !

I hope this will work for you :)

Hello Vikash,

I tried what you asked me to do a few times, but the wireless is still not functioning.

The wireless card is a Braodcom BCM4306, not D-Link.

Here's the dialog for your info:

rajiv@rajiv-laptop:~$ find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*acx*"
rajiv@rajiv-laptop:~$ sudo find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*acx*" -exec mv {} /root \;

What next?

Hi,

Your wireless issue is identical to this one:

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/56393

I think you are experiencing this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/197819

Please try this workaround solution:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/197819/comments/58

b43-fwcutter exists in the Ubuntu repositories, but you will need a working Internet connection in Ubuntu in order to install it.

The only way to do that - in your case - is to connect the pc to the wireless router using a LAN cable, instead of using wireless.

I also recommend opening a Terminal and entering the following 2 commands to update Ubuntu:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

I've tried everything but am still unable to get the wireless working. By now I'm pretty confused and I think I've messed up my system. Could you please walk me through the process step-by-step.

Thank you.

Rajiv

Hi,

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

Then please follow this procedure :

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy-paste each line below to the Terminal then hit <enter> after each line)

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo aptitude install -f
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
sudo lshw -C network
sudo iwlist scanning
dmesg | grep ound

Step 3: Please post results from each command (copy/paste terminal output from each command) on this thread -> very important step

Regards,

Mark

Hi,

I agree with you that your (driver) installation seems to be broken. I recommend reinstalling Ubuntu 8.10 from a LiveCD session, installing all Ubuntu 8.10 updates via Internet (while pc is connected to router using an ethernet cable), and then installing b43-fwcutter as I explained before.

Your wireless issue should have been resolved by now, as you can see in the links below:

https://answers.launchpad.net/~markrijckenberg/+questions?field.search_text=b43-phy0&field.sort=NEWEST_FIRST&field.sort-empty-marker=1&field.actions.search=Search&field.language=de&field.language=en&field.language=fr&field.language=nl&field.language-empty-marker=1&field.status=SOLVED&field.status-empty-marker=1

Kind regards,

Hi Mark,

I re-installed Ubuntu 8.10 from a LiveCD and got all updates via the Internet. I ran the instructions that you given me. Here is the output.

What the next step?

Rajiv

Hi,

Please copy-paste the following 3 commands into the Terminal and then copy-paste the output of the 3 commands here, on this thread:

sudo find / -name "ucode*.fw"
sudo find / -name "ucode*.fw" -print0 | xargs -0 -I cp {} /lib/firmware
ls -lart /lib/firmware

Reboot your pc and retest wireless.

Also verify inside the BIOS if you can change the wifi settings there.
And make sure the wifi is not disabled by a hardware switch on the back or the side of the laptop.

Regards,

Mark
