Peculiar behavior of Wireless-Felicia in Dell Latitude solve
I have a Dell Latutude D420. It has the following out put on lscpci:
09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
I installed wireless drivers via ndiswrapper using Ubuntu instructions ( In Elyssa I did the same- No problems)
In Felicia, I find I have to go to 'Hardware drivers > deactivate> Activate to get Wireless working. Tis happens after every shutdown >restart.
Any advice please Thanks

Re: Peculiar behavior of Wireless-Felicia in Dell Latitude
I have BCM4311 or 4312 and no problems
I used this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD ... y_No-Fluff
Works for Hardy and Intrepid Elyssa and Felicia even if it's called Feisty_No-Fluff
Check so you are not influenced by the Hardy bug even if you are in Felicia

Re: Peculiar behavior of Wireless-Felicia in Dell Latitude
Thanks Husse- helpful as ever.
Did all that the guide said. Somehow, though ndiswrapper is installed ( 1.9 ver) , some time during comiling, it says cant find ndiswrapper.
I went thru the whole exercise.
The problem is as before- Wireless connects after deactivate> activate. Not as I start.
Any advice ?
Thanks

Re: Peculiar behavior of Wireless-Felicia in Dell Latitude
What do you get from
lsmod
That's where you can expect to find ndiswrapper, ssb and the like

Thanks Husse
The lsmod out put is below: I think I do not have ndiswrapper there. Any suggestions? Thanks, of course

Re: Peculiar behavior of Wireless-Felicia in Dell Latitude
I find that when I click on Windows wireless drivers I am not being taken to Install drivers window. When I click mon Hardware drivers, I see 'unactivated driver but it does not get activated.
It appears I have to uninstall wireless drivers & reinstall them thru ndiswrapper or bmwcutter. Any advice on how to do that ?
Thanks

Re: Peculiar behavior of Wireless-Felicia in Dell Latitude
I find Broadcom STA wireless driver is installing by default in Felicia ( Intrepid ). This may be causing the problem.
Is it so?
How to switch the driver to bcmwl etc.
Pls advise

Re: Peculiar behavior of Wireless-Felicia in Dell Latitude
This may well be a case of conflict between drivers
I have a 4311 or 4312 in Elyssa which I have got working fine with this solution
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD ... y_No-Fluff
I have not had the time to make a real install of Felicia, but I have made one with mint4win. Time to check what works in Felicia

Re: Peculiar behavior of Wireless-Felicia in Dell Latitude
I just installed the Restricted drivers you find in Felicia and my 4311 (or is it 4312?) just worked....
