I installed latest ubuntu LTS image on my old acer V laptop . It does not find wirless adapter. From top right hand incon in "setting" it only shows wired connection info. It connects using ethernet.
I ran the command lshw -C network and below is the output
description: Network controller
product: BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n
vendor: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0
version: 00
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: bus_master cap_list
configuration: driver=bcma-pci-bridge latency=0
resources: irq:19 memory:b0500000-b0503fff
As you can see it does say I have boradcom wirless card. it even says the driver=bcma-pci-bridge.
Inspite of this I am not seeing wireless tab in setting (only the wired tab) and not able to connect over wifi because it does not see any wifi.
