I cant see wireless connections which I should and could with windows 7 and a wired connection seems unstable, IE shows a connection then I try to use it and it disconnects.

I have tried to update the drivers and I see these odd problems.

Broadcom Corporation: Wireless 1370 WLAN mini-PCI card; this device is using an alternate drive; Broadcom 802.11 luna STA wireless driver....

And THEN....

Unknown:Unknown This Device is using a manually-installed driver

I also just got this from trying to read the forms, not sure what to do with the info though

Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02)

on the unknown one the only check-able option is to continue running on that driver

I have a 6000 also, and I believe what I did was

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware linux-firmware-nonfree

it shows up in ifconfig as eth1.

  • @forrest dpkg should not be crashing. Do you have bad hardware? Or corrupt drive (run fsck on it)? Or bad memory?
