Problem
I have a Dell mini 9, and the wireless has worked without trouble in Ubuntu and Xubuntu versions 8.04 and 10.04.
However, after installing lxde, the wireless doesnt connect. Network manager recognizes the local networks, and will say that it is connected, but ifconfig
does not confirm the connection or the existance of a wlan0
.
I have another Ubuntu 10.04 notebook that works fine.
My wireless device is Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g
What I have tried
I have tried to remove and install network-mananager
and inxi
but neither work, and
sudo modprobe wl
returns
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.
