| kilian_2 | Hi! | 12:46 |
|---|---|---|
| kilian_2 | Could any of you help me solve a tricky problem with the wifi on my laptop? I have tried a few different things after googling, but none worked. | 12:48 |
| gnugr | kilian_2: sure you have the right firmware installed? | 13:20 |
| kilian_2 | Not really | 13:21 |
| kilian_2 | I already installed the `linux-firmware` package | 13:21 |
| kilian_2 | The device does not even show up in ifconfig | 13:21 |
| kilian_2 | gnugr: How would I figure out the correct firmware? The weird thing is that I am sure that I didn't uninstall any firmware and it worked for some time after installing the OS | 13:23 |
| diogenes_ | kilian_2, i didnţt get what do you mean "tricky thing" | 13:23 |
| gnugr | can you pastebin the output of 'lspci -nn | grep -i 'wireless'' | 13:23 |
| diogenes_ | or tricky problem | 13:23 |
| kilian_2 | diogenes_: I meant that it was a hard problem | 13:23 |
| kilian_2 | gnugr: 08:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43b1] (rev 03) | 13:24 |
| kilian_2 | gnugr: It was just one line, so I decided to paste it here instead | 13:24 |
| gnugr | kilian_2: you need 'firmware-sta-dkms` driver but i don't know how is its name under Ubuntu | 13:27 |
| gnugr | in short you need broadband sta driver | 13:28 |
| kilian_2 | gnugr: I installed the `broadcom-sta-dkms` package | 13:30 |
| gnugr | still not working? | 13:30 |
| gnugr | did you restart network-manager? | 13:30 |
| kilian_2 | gnugr: I did `sudo service network-manager restart` but the card is still not listed in ifconfig | 13:31 |
| kilian_2 | Should I reboot? | 13:31 |
| gnugr | yes try a reboot | 13:32 |
| kilian_2 | Ok, I'll be back in a few minutes | 13:32 |
| gnugr | OK | 13:32 |
| kilian_2 | gnugr: I'm back | 13:44 |
| gnugr | well? | 13:45 |
| kilian_2 | The interface is listed | 13:45 |
| kilian_2 | I will now try connecting to my wifi | 13:45 |
| gnugr | good, and tell us resuslts | 13:45 |
| kilian_2 | gnugr: Are you still there? | 14:10 |
| gnugr | yes... | 14:10 |
| gnugr | do you see ssid's? | 14:11 |
| gnugr | kilian_2: please any results? | 14:12 |
| kilian_2 | gnugr: Yes, it works! :) | 14:12 |
| gnugr | great!!!!! | 14:13 |
| kilian_2 | gnugr: The connection itself also works | 14:13 |
| kilian_2 | gnugr: Yes, you were a great help! | 14:13 |
| gnugr | np, enjoy | 14:13 |
| kilian_2 | Thanks :) | 14:16 |
| kilian_2 | Bye! | 14:16 |
