[Bug 1107653] Re: Major regression on Precise....(Fail to install and broke ALL the network)
I checked if compat-wireless is installed, and I think it's not. (A quock search for compat-wireless in synaptic produced a bunch of linux-backports-modules-cw-* packages, none of which is installed.) I started experimenting again with bcmwl (see comment #3). I tried to install it again (6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1), but Ubuntu froze while configuring the install. Also shortly after rebooting aptdaemon tried to finish the unsuccessful installation, and Ubuntu froze again, so now I will have to uninstall the package before aptdaemon can mess up my session again. I struggled a bit to uninstall the package, the thing that finally worked was to boot into an earlier kernel version and try uninstalling from console via apt-get. ... After reading through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx and a bit of experimenting, I finnally managed to install the linux-firmware-nonfree package, and now the wifi funcionality is back. (The chipset is BCM4311, PCI id is 14e4:4311.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1107653 Title: Major regression on Precise(Fail to install and broke ALL the network) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1107653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1107653] Re: Major regression on Precise....(Fail to install and broke ALL the network)
@Lucas Pottersky (lucaspottersky), From what I can see the (re)installation of the new dkms module worked fine (contrary to the initial bug report by @Maxime Haselbauer). Can you open a terminal and run, as root: # modprobe wl Assuming that this fails (i.e. you still have no WLAN), check the last few lines in the output of running dmesg. This will show why the module failed to load. The wl module has a slight conflict with the compat-wireless package (are you using it?). I have a broadcom BCM4314 WLAN chip *and* an Atheros AR8161 Ethernet chip (Lenovo Ideapad N581). The former requires the WL module while the latter requires the ALX module, which (as of now) is part of the compat-wireless package. The compat-wireless package includes a version of cfg80211 that is incompatible with the WL module. I solved the conflict by manually fixing the module dependencies and then running depmod -a. Unfortunately I cannot explain (at least) now, exactly what I did. It would be nice if we had a self-contained bcmwl package with no dependencies on anything (if at all possible), or at least a separate package for the ALX module that wouldn't include the whole compat- wireless mess. According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/923809/comments/27 there will be a separate ALX package, which sounds good to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1107653 Title: Major regression on Precise(Fail to install and broke ALL the network) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1107653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Bernardo Reino (reinob): i believe I manually installed compat-wireless someday. How can I check? I remember downloading it... Anyways, in order to get my wireless back I installed the new brcmsmac driver, as outlined here http://askubuntu.com/questions/247993/cant- connect-to-any-wireless-connection-after-updating After that, the wifi started working again. While having full connectivity I decided to rollback bcmwl-kernel-source package from 6.20.155.1 to 5.100.82.38 via Synaptic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1107653 Title: Major regression on Precise(Fail to install and broke ALL the network) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1107653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1107653] Re: Major regression on Precise....(Fail to install and broke ALL the network)
I encountered the same bug on Ubuntu 12.04, see details in duplicate Bug #1109790. I tried downgrading bcmwl-kernel-source to the previous version via synaptic, but the process didn't finish (updateing initramfs was the last output line I guess). After about ~20 minutes, I restarted the machine, now Synaptic starts with a warning message (sorry, I didn't record it, it was about some broken cache I guess), then exited. On the second reboot, I could start Synaptic without any problems and succeeded in completely removing bcmwl-kernel-source package. Now eth0 works again and since the Broadcom wifi controller didn't really work in the last 2 years I don't miss the driver too much. In a couple of days I'm going to experiment with this a bit more, please feel free to suggest ideas on how to debug further. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1107653 Title: Major regression on Precise(Fail to install and broke ALL the network) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1107653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
