Wifi problem
Hi
I have just loaded linux mint 17.1 rebecca into my older laptop HP zd8007ea, all went well but it will not load driver for my wifi adapter, I get the message DRIVER CANNOT BE INSTALLED connect to internet or insert cd, when I look in driver manager it is empty but for this message I have done both of these things but still get the same message. Any help will be gratefully recieved Regards |
Hi
I have just noticed the sub forum about wifi so I will read that again and see what happens. |
Try a newer kernel?
|
What's output in dmesg relative to WiFi driver?
|
Try a newer kernel?
HOW DO i do this What's output in dmesg relative to WiFi driver? What is dmesg |
Post the output of the lspci command. The information from the linlap site indicates that your wireless adapter is a broadcom 4306. Looks like the driver depends on the revision level.
http://www.linlap.com/hp_pavilion_zd8000 The following should help. https://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless |
I have tried to get wifi working with no luck. so I tried Ubuntu Yakkity but it would not load, then I found one called Pinguy this loaded and yhe wifi is working fine, it does seem to me to be a older linux, has anyone used this os

$ sudo dmesg | grep -i wl
Should list something. You're probably missing firmware (common issue). $ sudo apt-get install wireless-tools wpasupplicant iw firmware-realtek firmware-atheros firmware-linux-free firmware-linux-nonfree And maybe some others depending on how off the beaten trail your wifi device roams. Some firmware's might need other sources, or a git from kernel.org for firmware depending on how bleeding edge your hardware happens to be. $ sudo dmesg | grep -i firm $ sudo dmesg | grep -i fail Not sure why debian testing doesn't let the user do dmesg, but easy enough to work around I guess. Seems to play in /dev/kmsg land with root:root perms. Seems to be a kernel 4.8+ design choice. With /proc/sys/kernel/dmesg_restrict to override the choice. *sigh* |

HOW DO i do this What's output in dmesg relative to WiFi driver? How do I get this |
# dmesg | grep -i wl
Code:
[ 8.532941] rtl8723be 0000:02:00.0 wlo1: renamed from wlan0 Code:
[ 6.379517] bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8723b_config.bin (-2) # lsmod | grep -i rtl Code:
btrtl 16384 1 btusb # modprobe -r rtl8723be # modprobe rtl8723be ant_sel=2 Depending on what is reveled about "your" chipset there might be quirks for you too. |
How do I post this info onto this site from terminal
