I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 with a Broadcom WiFi card BCM4311.

On the proprietary drivers list I can see that for the wifi card the bcmwl-kernel-source package is installed and used, but Network Manager lists only the wired connection and in a terminal I cannot see any WiFi device:

user@host$ iwconfig
eth0    no wireless extensions
lo    no wireless extensions

Why this behavior if the driver is correctly installed?

  • Thank you @chili555 for thread suggestion: uninstall bcmwl-kernel-source, install firmware-b43-installer and reboot solve my issue. – caneta Nov 04 '17 at 22:56
