Connection to same network is successful using debian on chromebook (crouton) I am confused by all your messages. In the previous one you did a 'modprobe b43'. So what driver do you intend to use here. b43 is not a driver maintained by broadcom. You should ask for help on the b43 mailing list [1] if you want to use that driver. Regards, Arend [1] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev After system upgrade, wifi card fails to be recognised. For the benefit of other users: save your time and avoid broadcom products; they are terrible.
