Hi

Installed 11.04 after a Series of Harddrive Problems

HD was Cleared so No XP installed, running ubuntu Only



Compaq Presario C500 – Broadcom 4312 Wireless

Any Idea's Please?

(I'm Posting on Wifes Computer)

Hello,

Can you post the output of the following commands? Thanks man!
The output of those commands will help me narrow down what exact device you have, what all is currently configured for your network devices, and what all modules are currently loaded against your kernel. I don't think it will be very hard getting to work, but I just want to verify the chipset you are using.

Cheers,

Josh

Hi,

I have C300 and Broadcom 4311, so I'm your brother in arms!

The BCM4312 needs firmware that is not included in a standard Ubuntu installation. You have to install either firmware-b43-installer or firmware-b43-lpphy-installer, according to your hardware. You can find out which type you need with lspci on the command-line, the line regarding the Broadcom device should state if it is the lpphy-version of that device.

Sorry but I'm A complete Noob at this..

You seem to have the normal version, so install firmware-b43-installer, either with Synaptic or withon the commandline.

Done that and Restarted

Additional Drivers Says

Driver is activated and in use

But still unable to Use

The WAIF, have you read my blog post which I already linked above? I had this problem, and I have found a solution.
Step-by-step guide is posted here.
