Thank You.
This is your wireless. Code: 0b:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01)
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: ssb, wl
As you can see, it says that it is using the ssb and wl drivers. Th ssb driver is used in conjunction with the b43 driver. The network driver modules that you have loaded are these: Code: Module Size Used by
b43 131356 0
rfkill 17176 2 rfkill_input,b43
mac80211 216820 1 b43
cfg80211 32392 1 mac80211
led_class 12164 1 b43
wl 1076372 0
ieee80211_crypt 13572 1 wl
b44 35984 0
ohci1394 37936 0
mii 13440 1 b44
ssb 40580 2 b43,b44
You have two drivers loaded for the wireless, the b43 and the wl driver. This will cause the wireless to not function. In most cases the wl driver would be considered the better one to use, but in your case, you have another thing to consider.
The b43 module uses a helper module named ssb. The ssb module is also used by your wired connection driver b44. To use the wl wireless module you would need to remove the b43, b44 and ssb modules. This would make your wired connection non-functioning, ever.
So, the best thing to do is remove the wl module, install the firmware and use the b43 driver. If you ran the b43-fwcutter program earlier, and said yes when it asked to download and install the firmware, then you just need to do this. Code: sudo modprobe -r b43
Code: sudo modprobe -r wl
That should get your wireless to work. Let us know how things are, and if OK, we can make a more permanent fix.
EDIT: I see from the info in that you provided that the firmware isn't installed. Run this command: Code: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
When it asks:"Download and install firmware?". Answer "Yes" (just press enter).
