[Bug 443185] Re: Unable to activate Broadcom b43 after STA driver
Guys - i did it!! This crappy STA error was bugging me for 3 days. As i am so green in this technical thing, first in my life i had to go through a million of treads regarding this missing wireless thing and i had no solution for my case. 1 - i did saw an inactive STA in System/Administration/Hardware drivers but i couldn't activate it 2- i checked Synaptic package manager and there wasn't this bcmwl-kernel-source, but there at least was bcmwl-modaliases 3 - i reinstalled the last one bcmwl-modaliases 4 - rebooted computer 5 - in Hardware drivers appeared B43 as already active, but wireless wasn't working anyways 6 - though i removed B43 7 - rebooted again 8 - tried to activate STA and got message "/var/log/jockey.log" 9 - tried again and got message "Sorry, the Jockey backend crashed" how da heck could i know, that i have to go to Synaptic manager / Settings / Repositories / and mark a tickbox in Ubuntu softwear "Proprietary drivers for devices (restricted) !!!??? This small step solved all my problems 10 - bcmwl-kernel-source appeared in synaptic 11 - i acivated all of it, rebooted 12and vuala!!

[Bug 443185] Re: Unable to activate Broadcom b43 after STA driver
I investigated this more closely, and I'm afraid there is no easy way to have the b43 driver appear in jockey when STA is enabled. Technical background: the STA driver blacklists tbe ssb module (it has to, in order to work at all), and the b43 module has modaliases in terms of "ssb:". Since there are no ssb: devices at all, the b43 module does not match on the current system. Even when loading ssb manually (or adding a manual modalias file for it) doesn't help, since wl blocks the detection of any ssb devices. So the official answer for this is: Disable STA first, then enable b43.

To summarize, I had to re-install the STA driver, type the command as follows: sudo dpkg --install /media/NAME/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel- source_5.10.91.9+bdcom-0ubuntu4_i386.deb note1: NAME is the name of your USB stick (type "mount" at the terminal to find your usb stick's name). If you're using a liveCD, then your media path will be different. note2: the name of my .deb file was different than Ridzwan's .deb file name and could be version related, find the actual name of your .deb file in the /pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/ folder.

[Bug 443185] Re: Unable to activate Broadcom b43 after STA driver
Ok, another attempt at this. No screenshots, sorry about that. Process starting from no wireless drivers installed (completely removed via synaptic). No wired connections working either. Boot. Login. Insert Ubuntu Karmic x64 live cd. Go to pool, reserved, install bcmwl. Go to pool, main, install b43-cutter. Reboot. Repeat several times, purging (complete removal via synaptic) each time. Repeatedly, Hardware Drivers (jockey?) shows no available drivers to activate. After several tries, I download and transfer from a different computer ndiswrapper common & utils and ndisgtk, thinking that maybe I need those for these drivers to work (although I do not believe that to be the case). I did not install any windows drivers, though. On next try, wired connection finally worked, though no wireless drivers are installed. Call it a coincidence, I don't know. Open Hardware Drivers (jockey?) and find b43 driver finally. Mark as active. It downloads and activates. Install bcmwl (STA driver) from liveCD pool. Upon reboot, b43 driver is now gone (from jockey), though STA driver appears (in jockey). Click activate on STA driver, and jockey goes through the motions (password input, says it's downloading and installing, etc). It even disconnects my wired connection, as though it were activating it. However, STA remains inactive, the little light isn't green, and it's as if I never told it to activate. This is my current state, though it is unclear if this will still be clear tomorrow when I boot again. At this point I am utterly frustrated and out of ideas. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to this process. An assistance is greatly appreciated.

[Bug 443185] Re: Unable to activate Broadcom b43 after STA driver
I have a compaq mini 700 (the European hp mini version) just did a clean install of the unr and i can't activate the driver also. I can't use the wireless which makes it almost impossible to work.

Ok, now it's working and I didn't do anything, The b43 option isn't in Jockey anymore. Wireless is active under STA, but I didn't activate it. It apparently finally remembered it from all the other attempts.

I am on a HP Mini 110 and this does not work in the Netbook Remix. Is this issue supposed to be resolved now?

[Bug 443185] Re: Unable to activate Broadcom b43 after STA driver
B43 disappears because it is uninstalled by Jockey when switching to STA. It can be reinstalled and loaded, but will not work with network manager, and is not a bug in Jockey. STA requires a restart to update network-manager. Inspiron 1545 users, use STA, although it does still have a few bugs of its own. The update to jockey-common and jockey-gtk (0.5.5-0ubuntu2) allows STA to be loaded.

Run apt-cache show jockey-common and post the results here. The update just hit my repository. Ran the update process about 6 hours ago and there was nothing, then a minute ago it updated jockey to the version listed above. I've also got a Inspiron 1545 and I'm about to test whether this will fix the issue or not (I installed the jockey update under VirtualBox through XP, but I'm sure plugging into the network will work just as well as for me). -- Unable to activate Broadcom b43 after STA driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443185 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

@Martin Pitt I'm not sure if reboot is not required. I activated the STA driver and I saw wifi networks but when I tried to connect to one of them, my system freezed. Only after a reboot everything works OK. I also downloaded RC image, recorded it to USB by USB Disk Creator, booted, installed all updates, rebooted and activated the STA driver; my OS hanged even before I had a chance to connect to a wireless network. This time, though, after a reboot I see the STA driver activated, but wifi doesn't work at all (nm-applet doesn't see there is any wifi device at all). -- Unable to activate Broadcom b43 after STA driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443185 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 fixed the b43 handler in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core- dev/jockey/ubuntu/revision/373 now.
