Thread: Wireless won't work, am I using the wrong driver? How to tell?

-

my wireless no longer works after installing ubuntu. searched around on forums, i'm not sure if it's problem i'm having. put in command prompt
code:
lspci -v
in order figure out wireless card is. came this. i'm guessing i'm looking for, i'm not sure means seemed relevant.

code:
  06:02.0 network controller: broadcom corporation bcm4318 [airforce 1 54g] 802.11g wireless lan controller (rev 02)     subsystem: hewlett-packard company device 1355     flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, irq 21     memory @ c0200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8k]     kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge     kernel modules: ssb
how know if i'm using wrong driver, , how can 1 wireless working again?

i tried solution no luck :


  • check in system > administration > hardware drivers binary driver. instance, many broadcom cards work broadcom sta driver. unfortunately, driver proprietary (the source code not freely available), , cannot installed automatically part of ubuntu. if willing accept limitation, activate driver.


basically, can connect internet if i'm plugged in. when unplug it, wireless doesn't pick of networks other laptop running on windows picks up.
