Hi -- Thanks for your message.
In my Network Manager, sometimes "Enable Wireless" s is grayed out and sometimes it is there. However, even when it is there, it doesn't seem to do anything except be able to be unchecked and rechecked. It doesn't turn the wireless back on. And just now, even worse, I let some automatic updates happen and now the wireless won't go back on at all, even after several reboots. I checked the status of the STA driver and the drivers screen said it was now not activated, so a went back with a wired connection and re- downloaded it and reactivated it, but that didn't help. I finally went back and uninstalled the proprietary driver for STA 43xx and reinstalled it from Terminal as a previous post suggested, which worked before and it worked this time, but what a hassle. Not for the faint of heart or Ubuntu newbies like me.. So far, nothing else has resolved the wireless switching problem for me with 11.04 on this machine. And I guess I won't be using the keyboard toggle to turn wireless off again, at least until someone figures this out and fixes the problem. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ochiuz Catalin Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 1:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Bug 760920] Re: STA driver not can not activate bcm4311 wireless Hi willens, I just tried it on my system and you are right: the hardware switch doesn't do toogle! Yet: I could do toogle by un/checking "Enable wireless" from Network Manager. Is there no "Enable wireless" in your Network Manager? -- You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760920 Title: STA driver not can not activate bcm4311 wireless Status in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: software-center Dell inspiron 1501; bcm4311; AMD Turion(tm 64 X2 TL-58; 1.8 GiB; kernel 2.6.38-8-generic; Natty desktop amd64;dual boot with Lynx LTS On fresh install netwrk manager said that wireless is disabled by hardware switch; after installing STA driver (on wired connection) noting is mentioned in network manager about wireless; can not switch it on from buttons either. On Lynx I had to folow http://polach.cc/broadcom-wifi-adapter-wpa-access-fix-on-ubuntu-ii to make wireless work, but on Natty that doesn't work either. I will need wireless. :( P.S.: This ended up in software-center by mistake... sorry if this is not the right place for it.
