networking - Completely disappeared Wireless


Some days ago after partial upgrade and update my "Ubuntu 12.04 64bit" wireless disappeared.


I googled and tried several solutions such as:


1.BIOS Reset


2.Re-installing all packages related to wireless via Synaptic.


3.Re-installing bcmwl-kernel-source.


4.Running this command via terminal sudo rfkill unblock all.


But none have any effect. Now with rfkill list all I can see that:


soft block=0
hard block=0

In section Wireless LAN,
so it is ok.
In additional drivers section I see disabled Broadcom STA Wireless driver, and try enable it, but it gives error with long log in file /var/log/jockey.log


Important fact: My hardware is OK as I have tried to use WiFi via LiveCD and it worked. So the problem is in my Ubuntu 12.04.


But what else can I do?
Wireless option has just disappeared from network window.
Fn+F3 doesn't do anything, the wireless light is always turned OFF.


When I write ifconfig in terminal, it doesn't show Wlan as it showed before. It gives this code:



$ ifconfig

iwconfig gives this:


bnep0     no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.


You can find everything about troubleshooting the wireless connections at this wiki page.


If nothing helps, reinstall Ubuntu.
