hope u can help me.

I have a Dell Inspiron N4030 and using on it the Ubuntu 13.04. This notebook has a BCM 4313 Broadcom wifi chipset, that is causing some headaches to me.

It connects but, after a couple minutes lost the connection with internet. Curiously it doesn't lost the wifi connection, only the internet connection (in other devices the internet keep active).

I've tried countless solutions that I found on the internet and nothing work =/

My kernel: 3.8.0-27-generic

I've tried with firmware-b43-installer and bcmwl-kernel-source and both give me the same problem. Using a USB wireless adapter I can surf normally.

  • So you are using a nonofficial kernel? Have you installed firmware-b43-installer? – edwin Aug 05 '13 at 00:17
  • Are you using chroot or bootstrap?? I am still curious: why are you using kernel 3.10? – edwin Aug 06 '13 at 00:47
  • Do you have this problem while using a wired interface (Ethernet)? – edwin Aug 06 '13 at 01:08
  • Ok, but please add this to your question by editing it, then remove the comments. That way we keep things tidy :) – edwin Aug 06 '13 at 01:23
  • did you install b43-fwcutter? I have two dell laptops with broadcom wireless cards and both required that to be installed. – Bryan Aug 06 '13 at 03:54

If you have not installed any other drivers but the sta driver this should get your wireless working. In 13.04 the brcmsmac driver finally started working better with this device then the sta driver.

sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source

sudo modprobe brcmsmac
