Network Connection Not Available

Postby jeffcroskrey on Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:12 pm

I am going to apologize upfront for this question, but I have researched for a couple hours on google, and on this forum, and I have tried some stuff, but nothing has worked.
So when I go to Network Connections, no wireless networks are available, and I have tried to add a network and it did not work, and I tried to install some drivers with some commands I found on another website, but that did not work. So here is the output of some of my commands....

lamborghini@lamborghini ~ $ inxi -N
Network: Card-1 Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY driver wl
Card-2 Marvell 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller driver sky2
lamborghini@lamborghini ~ $ inxi -F
System: Host lamborghini Kernel 3.0.0-12-generic i686 (32 bit) Desktop Gnome Distro Linux Mint 12 Lisa
Machine: System Dell (portable) product Inspiron 1545
Mobo Dell model 0G848F Bios Dell version A14 date 12/07/2009
CPU: Dual core Pentium CPU T4500 (-MCP-) cache 1024 KB flags (lm nx sse sse2 sse3 ssse3)
Clock Speeds: (1) 1200.00 MHz (2) 1200.00 MHz
Graphics: Card: Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
X.Org 1.10.4 drivers intel unloaded: fbdev,vesa Resolution 1366x768@59.6hz
GLX Renderer Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset x86/MMX/SSE2 GLX Version 2.1 Mesa 7.11
Audio: Card Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller driver HDA Intel Sound: ALSA v: 1.0.24
Network: Card-1 Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY driver wl


So it seems like it is not a hardware problem because it recognizes the network card.....
What should I do next to connect to the internet?

[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.
