I've done a fresh install of Natty 11.04.
I have a Broadcom BCM4306 wireless network card and it failed to come up. It said no drivers installed.
After a bit of reading, I installed the b43-fwcutter and the firmware-b43-installer.
Now it will attempt to connect to the wireless network and asks for the WPA2 password.
However after entering the correct password, it still won't connect and after a minute or so, it asks for the password again.
I've checked the additional drivers list as apparently after installation of the b43 driver it should be listed but there is nothing there.
Not sure if it matters but when I was installing I was connected on a USB WIFI. This works without any additional drivers.
Anyone know how to get this card working?
Thanks.
I would perhaps re install your drivers which should not take long
Do this via a terminal and you should see if anything goes wrong
So in a terminal type the following
sudo apt-get remove b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
then
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
This should reinstall your wifi driver
Alternatively what I have done is install the other broadcom proprietry driver STA
This was just as easy again via the terminal
Clear out any older files
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
If you are still being prompted for entering your password make sure that you have enabled your pc to remember the password
