network card problem
Yes I know this is probably not the list for this but it is the best I have at the moment. Over the weekend I did an update on an older dell laptop running 12.04. It has been doing fine with that os until now. After the update when I rebooted it is no longer loading the modules for the BCM4401-B0 ethernet card whic means that of course that computer no longer has access to any network. Can anyone think of any reason this may have happened and if there is a solution to it. I have done a serch of the internet especially ubuntu and found no information.

Re: network card problem
Hi.
If memory serves me, I had a similar problem when I used Ubuntu 12.10.
Not sure, but I think the problem was caused by lack of installation of
header files from the new kernel, which prevented the compilation of
modules related to this card.
Look for a package named linux-kernel-headers, linux-headers or
something of that sort and see if it is installed. I am not sure about
the correct name.
If it is installed, check if the installed version is compatible with
the version of the kernel.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

Re: network card problem
Well, if you are missing this it's most likely called either linux-headers, or
linux-headers-generic, unless names were changed after natty.
I have 0 idea if this is the actual problem, but it is worth looking in to.

Re: network card problem
I might have not been clear in my other reply; so, you will probably need both
linux-headers and linux-headers-generic with numbers that are in sync with your
kernel version.

Re: network card problem
Looks like all the headers are there. For some reason I have yet to
figure out bcmwl blacklisted pretty much every broadcom module. Still
tryi8ng to figure that one out and of course it kills it for the earlier
versions of kernels as well so... I may have to rebuild the box from cd
but I really don't want to do that as I can't back up the data on it.

following:
