Can't get wirless to work
Ubuntu 16.04
Wireless quit connecting on HP Laptop but can still be seen by iPhone. I previously turned off "disable secure boot" which solved this for about a year. I don't see "disable secure boot" in the Bios now. And how do I get my computer to scan for new wifi networks? |
Code:
sudo ifconfig here is a how to wifi command line https://www.linux.com/learn/how-conf...-linux-desktop |
michael@michael-HP-Pavilion-Notebook:~$ sudo ifconfig
[sudo] password for michael: eno1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr dc:4a:3e:e0:0e:61 inet addr:192.168.254.33 Bcast:192.168.254.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::a6c0:eace:462e:d2e5/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:84301 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:64225 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:88808052 (88.8 MB) TX bytes:10624444 (10.6 MB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:2452 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2452 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:237915 (237.9 KB) TX bytes:237915 (237.9 KB) michael@michael-HP-Pavilion-Notebook:~$ |
it is not showing a wifi nic
unless your system uses eno1 for wifi and not wlan0 ..read the links to get the commands to check and bring up your system. |
Have you check to see if wireless is disabled? First thing to check is wireless switch, or more often via Fn key.
The rfkill utility can also be useful here... http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/.../rfkill.8.html https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...#Rfkill_caveat |
Network hardware and driver details could be useful...
Code:
lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net |
and oops their is 'rfkill list' to see if it is being blocked.
(nm someone else brought it up, just caught that, after post) |

Check that there is a driver loaded for your Broadcom wireless device. The command I gave was designed to only spit out the first couple of lines.
To get first 3 lines do Code:
lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net Code:
lspci -nnk |

Ubuntutututututututu How to install broadcom drivers.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/5586...reless-drivers |
Yep, no driver loaded. Refer to Ubuntu guide as BW-userx has linked to.
|
Actually, this guide may be better
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...Driver/bcm43xx In particular, for the Broadcom STA Wireless driver (Proprietary)... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...Proprietary.29 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...ng_STA_drivers |
I'm not an Ubuntu user, but I note that the Broadcom readme file mentions that a pre-compiled driver exists...

Perhaps you guys can help me through this. I did this to start it off. What do I type into terminal next? michael@michael-HP-Pavilion-Notebook:~$ lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network 08:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01) DeviceName: Broadcom BCM43142 802.11 b/g/n 1x1Wi-Fi + BT4.0 M.2 Combo Adapter Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [103c:804a] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 255 Region 0: Memory at c3100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K] Capabilities: <access denied> 09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
