[Bug 1343151] Re: no signal with BCM43228
Here is the relevant section of my syslog (hostname removed). I don't know if it will help, but it looks like there's an issue with scanning for wireless networks: Aug 6 20:47:27 NetworkManager[853]: info Activation (wlan0) starting connection 'Maximus' Aug 6 20:47:27 NetworkManager[853]: info (wlan0): device state change: disconnected - prepare (reason 'none') [30 40 0] Aug 6 20:47:27 NetworkManager[853]: info Activation (wlan0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled...

In this instance, I have manually created the 'Maximus' network in Network Manager, otherwise Network Manager never finds any wireless connection. I have verified that other devices can see the wireless network, and this same machine connects fine when booted into Windows 7 Enterprise as well. I am on Ubuntu 14.04.1 64-bit with all updates run and the driver from bcmwl-kernel-sources installed. This is a fresh install of 14.04, but things worked correctly under 13.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1343151 Title: no signal with BCM43228 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta/+bug/1343151/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
