Yesterday I have made some updates and upgraded my linux 14.10 to linux 15.04.. Now I can't connect to my home wifi, and the others i get a dns_probe_finished_no_internet.. In the network-manager appears some really weak connections, but not my own which is 1 meter away and working because i can use my smartphone with it.

The Laptop is a Toshiba L650 and the wireless driver is a broadcom Corporation BCM4313..

Is this possible to repair? I have tried some things that appeared on google but nothing seems to work.

  • Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 terminal command. – Pilot6 Jun 04 '15 at 18:10
  • Did you manually install a driver for the WiFi adapter? If yes, you may have to reinstall the driver, if a kernel update happened, which is quite likely if you did a release upgrade. If this is the problem, it can be avoided in future by using DKMS – s3lph Jun 04 '15 at 18:11
  • it was automatic.. edited for the output – Ruben Jun 04 '15 at 19:26
  • http://askubuntu.com/a/97368/402801 try this.. its quite dated, but it might help OR THIS: http://askubuntu.com/a/38700/402801 I was troubleshooting one PC with broadcom adapter similar way and it's working now... – RiddleMeThis Jun 04 '15 at 19:36
  • tried them both and its still not working – Ruben Jun 05 '15 at 00:18
  • I can confirm the same bug, my laptop crashes completely if I connect to a WPA1 wifi. HP Folio 13 WM S. –  Jul 28 '15 at 20:17

For some reason I had to change my wi-fi security from WPA and WPA2 to only WPA2... With that I can find my home wi-fi with no problems..

If you have a wired network connection run in terminal

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

If not use THIS GUIDE to install the drivers offline.

  • I think I've tried that already and didn't work – Ruben Jun 04 '15 at 21:00
  • What do you mean by "didn't work"? Did it install? Or give some error? Do you have a wired connection? Did you download the file? What is your Ubuntu version? – Pilot6 Jun 04 '15 at 21:36
  • After doing that the problem persisted... I have a wired connection.. 15.04 is my ubuntu version – Ruben Jun 04 '15 at 23:19
  • Please [edit} your initial question and add there output of uname -a command and sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source command. The driver does not install. We need to know why. – Pilot6 Jun 05 '15 at 05:09
  • initial question edited – Ruben Jun 05 '15 at 12:49
  • Now it is install corretly. lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 shoul show wl as a driver. And wifi must work. – Pilot6 Jun 05 '15 at 13:03

  • I have rebooted now and wifi is not working and that command gives following...

  • I think the adapter is broken. Or bad contact with motherboard – Pilot6 Jun 05 '15 at 17:27
  • It cant be... It is working on Windows.. Its a dual boot – Ruben Jun 05 '15 at 22:10
