Here are some relevant log lines from bootup (when b43 fails to activate), then I press Fn-F2 and that activates the radio properly. Looks like maybe nw-manager is trying to bring up the interface before b43 has loaded firmware. reboot: Dec 22 18:05:05 mecca NetworkManager: Loaded plugin ifupdown: (C) 2008 Canonical Ltd.

[Bug 421095] Re: Karmic BCM4311 doesn't work with Broadcom B43 wireless driver and Driver Broadcom STA
Problem seems to be that since a recent update (approx 12/4/2009, guessing 2.6.31-16 kernel or modules), b43 driver initialized in disabled state rather than state at shutdown. I found a workaround: I'm able to enable wifi on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop via Fn-F2 key once booted and then I get wifi as normal. Main problem here seems to be that the b42s always initializing in disabled state rather than active or prior state at shutdown. This previously worked fine in Jaunty and Karmic until applying a small batch of recent updates that included kernel 2.6.31-16. Interesting was that falling back to an older kernel did not fix, at least not immediately, so maybe the problem is that active state is not being saved (so regardless of kerel booted, starts as inactive)? Need to try boot in older kernel, activate, shutdown, reboot in same old kernel to see if this theory is holds true. -- Karmic BCM4311 doesn't work with Broadcom B43 wireless driver and Driver Broadcom STA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421095 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 421095] Re: Karmic BCM4311 doesn't work with Broadcom B43 wireless driver and Driver Broadcom STA
This does look to be a change in behavior in the b43 driver. With 2.6.31-16, I have to manually turn on wifi via Fn-F2 keypress on my laptop. Upon keypress, kernel drivers are loaded and the interface is brought up. With 2.6.28-16 and earlier, the kernel module is loaded the interface brought up automatically. When I initially updated to Karmic w/ kernel 2.6.31-15, i'm pretty sure wifi via b43 worked fine, just as it did in 2.6.28. Problems started with recent update that included 2.6.31-16 kernel. However, when I test now, 2.6.31-15 behaves like 2.6.31-16 -- I have to manually turn on wifi. This is a pretty brutal regression for anyone afflicted, but at least there is a easy workaround. -- Karmic BCM4311 doesn't work with Broadcom B43 wireless driver and Driver Broadcom STA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421095 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I should note that this was not an issue when I first upgraded from the stable 9.04 to the buggy 9.10 This problem was caused by one of the updates since the release which I took because I was trying to fix other issues.

I am using a n wireless card on a dell xps m1710. It seems to happen when the computer is idle and then the driver becomes corrupt and won't reload. I've done the following about 7 times... it's a temporary fix at best but does get you working ... until at least the computer goes idle. 1 - Add the Install CD to the software sources 2 - In Synaptic, locate the broadcomm sta package and mark for reinstall 3 - Reboot, go to Administration/Hardware drivers and hopefully now the wirelles driver is working. 4 - rinse and repeat Could the issue be connected to the screen going dim when idle and not re-brightening bug? -- Karmic BCM4311 doesn't work with Broadcom B43 wireless driver and Driver Broadcom STA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421095 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 421095] Re: Karmic BCM4311 doesn't work with Broadcom B43 wireless driver and Driver Broadcom STA
There's more wrong - I just rebooted and got the 'driver is authenticated' from the widget - but no sign that wireless is supported, Then via 'right-click' on the ethernet-connection' I saw the 'connect to hidden networks' , which was the first clue, that things might work.. so I entered the 'hidden network' stuff' (SSID and pwd) and got a connection. Only after disconnecting Ethernet, I finally see the Wireless picture on the top bar.. So in Summary - it's a 'step back' from the pre-release and is getting further away in comparison to Windoze and MAC-OSX which directly connect [ no need for sudo apt-get update , authentication , entering a wireless network in the network widget and reboots ] .. and netbooks are currently high volume sales items .. -- Karmic BCM4311 doesn't work with Broadcom B43 wireless driver and Driver Broadcom STA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421095 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
