I have this on my Acer 3820 Notebook:
lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet [1969:1073] (rev c0)
Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:0364]
Kernel driver in use: atl1c
05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4357] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. T77H103.00 Wireless Half-size Mini PCIe Card [105b:e021]
Kernel driver in use: wl
And it's not working. I cannot find my router and if I found it I'm not able to connect, I just get the message that I should retype my password. I was testing TAILS on this Notebook as live cd and with that there are absolutely no problems with connectig to the wifi. So Ubuntu 14.04 got some driver problems?
I was reading this big thread here: Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers
Before checking things I just tried the b43 driver, something like this
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
Did not work out, not even able to see wifi connections. After reading the postings in the like above I was really confused, but I thought the bcmwl driver is the right one that I need. So I removed the firmware-b43 a tried like this:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe wl
Well with this I do not see my wifi. I see like other 10 wifi spots, just mine not. Tried to connect to somewhere else, it's not working :/
I'm really confused about this stuff. Does this help?
