b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found -> BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03) not working on Dell Latitude D600 in Ubuntu 9.10

Asked by Terry123

I have a Dell Laptop 6400 series. I cannot connect to my wireless network. My laptop was able to connect to a wireless connect when it was running Windows. I have read other peoples similar problems, and believe if I copied and paste this , this would help.
terry@JT:~$ sudo iwconfig

Do you see yours or other wireless networks on your list in the networkmanager?
Or is it just empty?

I figure it would help that I have a broadcom 4306 wireless card. The same one that has caused many peoples problems. I ve tried the updates and a little bit of everything but still to no avail

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: Please copy-paste the following command from the https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu website 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 restart. 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.

sudo lshw -C network; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | grep ound; dmesg | grep b43; dmesg | grep wl; dmesg | grep witch; iwconfig; grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/*; grep wl /etc/modprobe.d/*; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

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

Regards,

Mark

Hi,

The error "b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found" should mean that b43-fwcutter is not installed yet on your pc. And that means that the Broadcom firmware for your wireless card is not loaded or installed yet.

Please proceed with running the following Terminal commands:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter

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

Regards,

Mark
