I have a Acer V5 122P, only WIFI, without Ethernet port and I can't connect to WiFi,

I have this information:

$ ifconfig

I found these broadcom drivers on internet:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl

but I don't know how install them, I only know basic commands.

  • You need bcmwl-kernel-source. Here is a method to get them from the install DVD or USB: http://askubuntu.com/questions/460489/wireless-not-detected-in-14-04-fresh-install – chili555 Feb 25 '15 at 14:31
  • @chili555 i try but i have errors, i show you it in the first message, thanks!!! – Patatas91 Feb 25 '15 at 21:51
  • "Consult /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.141+bdcom/build/make.log for more information." What did it say? Can you please post it here and give us the link? http://paste.ubuntu.com – chili555 Feb 25 '15 at 22:15
  • @chili555: Edited question and voted to reopen (and left you this note here so you will find it as well) :-) – Fabby Feb 25 '15 at 22:23
  • @patatas: Uhm, the 3.16 kernel makes things more complicated, since the bcmwl-kernel-source package in Ubuntu 14.04 is for the 3.13 kernel. You might want to go back to kernel 3.13 or install the bcmwl-kernel-source package for 14.10. – David Foerster Feb 25 '15 at 22:25
  • Thanks, @DavidFoerster, I suspect that will be my answer! – chili555 Feb 25 '15 at 23:27

You should update your kernel.. I have this same ultrabook and every distribution based on Ubuntu 14.10 and other previous versions fails to work properly with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and graphics. On the other hand, since the update to 15.04, the new available kernel is 3.19..... This one includes all the hotkeys of the V5-122p, and works perfectly with all of the hardware.

You shouldn't really update kernel unless something is really wrong. Sadly this is the case... Follow this page to update your kernel:

Hope it helps!
