bTry uninstalling broadcom-sta
Install b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer (there are a couple of
versions of this depending on you setup - I found the first (when put in
order) to work), reboot and see what happens.
You should be able to do this with synaptic.
Hope it helps

Any idea how i uninstall, i can't seem to find it in synaptic.
Also, why did this work on the live usb?

The default Broadcom driver doesn't work - had the same problem but can't
recall how I fixed it - the needed driver is in the repository. At some
point you will have to uninstall the default. I think I then installed
firmware-b43-installer rebooted, maybe a bit of fiddling around and now
works fine.
Not on that machine at the moment so can't check.

Hi all,
Just pulled down 12.10 and installed, but i am having a strange
problem with the wireless.
I installed from a live USB. While doing so i had to quickly plug in
an ethernet cable to get the wireless driver (For Broadcom BCM43228
802. 11a/b/g/n, i am using the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless
driver).
That went fine and i got the wireless working for the install.
Now, however, when i boot to the install, my wireless is nowhere to be
seen. The proprietary driver is activated but still no wireless. I
have tried setting the machine to not use the driver and reactivating
it. I have also tried rebooting a number of times, but still no joy.
Remarkably under 'network connections', my wireless network is
registered, from when i logged in on the USB i presume. Now, however i
can't see the wireless at all: "rfkill list" just shows bluetooth.
I had thought about trying to uninstall and then reinstall the driver
but couldn't find it in synaptic.
At the moment i am sending this tethered to my router, sitting on the
stairs. So if anyone has any ideas, that would be great.
James.
