Service pack 4 loaded well and is fully functional. I went to bed and the wifi was working fine in the morning no wifi. I checked the network and it is working fine. Rebooted with no effect. Inserted a Linksys USB wifi and it registered with the operating system but showed no wifi. I then rebooted into Mint12, and the wifi works fine. Same computer just another OS from the GRUB. Everything else works in either OS, and the wifi worked last night on LMDE. Was there an autoloading update over night?

I just loaded Service Pack 4 and my Broadcom wireless isn't working. I pulled out the LMDE tutorial and started running the commands. When I run "m-a a-i broadcom-sta" it says it's not able to continue the build. Now what?

I'm having the same darn problem with my wifi after upgrading to UP4. (Running LMDE Xfce 64x)

1. System boots up into TTY mode, so i have to run "startx" to boot Xfce.

2. The network manager applet won't start, and I can't start it from the terminal, nor add it to the panel.

3. No freaking Wifi. (no it's not a hardware issue, i checked. Wifi works fine in Windows)

4. Theme is screwed up. (White background in gedit, distorted colors in window boarders, etc.)

Oh, and here's a list of packages that failed to update:

Code: Select all: Errors were encountered while processing: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgconf2-4 libreoffice-gnome gdm3 libgtk2.0-dev gucharmap libnm-gtk0 gconf2 python-uno network-manager-gnome gnome-session-bin libatspi1.0-0 xchat-common pidgin gnome-mag xchat

Oh, and I might mention that I was running a modified version of Xfce before the update...

At this point I've tried so many things I'm not sure were I am anymore with everything that has been installed and uninstalled trying to fix this. I may have to start all over. The good news is for now this is my test box. The bad news is when I can get this fixed I'm going to give it to someone in need of a netbook to surf, check mail, and not have to worry about upgrading the OS every 6-months

For some reason, I forget why, a lot of the wifi drivers were removed from kernel 3.2, which is the one in update pack 4.

Good question. Problem is two-fold for me:

1. I don't know
2. I don't know how to find out:(

Is there a list of removed drivers, or at least a news post/mailing list post regarding that somewhere?

by **zerozero** on Mon Apr 09, 2012 7:05 am

i see we have in this topic several issues (and maybe not related, unless for the fact that they arise with UP4)

we should know why/how all these pkgs failed (was an issue during the update process? or caused by your modifications as stated above?)
but obviously some of the problems you are facing pos-UP4 are related with those fails (gdm3< your issue n1, network-manager-gnome < issue n2 and probably 3)

you have the headers installed? i didn't try with this new 3.2 kernel yet but broadcom was always building ok at least until 3.1 (last i checked)
Edit: just finish the build now following this howto (the same i always use) viewtopic.php?f=197&t=57056

you always had a standard install or had you "mess" with the sources.list (and recently?) i ask this because you shouldn't be running those kernel v. in UP4 UP4 was frozen in the 20th of march but the kernel v. you have installed migrated to testing on the 23rd (3.2.12-1) and the one i have (and i believe everybody else migrated on the 12th (3.2.9-1)
only this per-se is not a biggy (broadcom should build as well against the 12-1 kernel) but what else did you pull from outside UP4 or better yet what did you not? because this way it looks like a mixed system (and easier to get these kind of weird bugs)

As I stated early, I'm been trying so many things I'm not sure anymore. Perhaps I should re-install LMDE. Now the question will be can I, or does, automatically upgrade to Service Pack 4 without having to do 3 as well?

by **zerozero** on Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:10 pm

at this point you are going to UP4 right away, but if that install can "live" without wireless for a few more days/week(s) the new isos are being tested now viewtopic.php?f=201&t=99220

by **jjaythomas** on Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:27 pm

To Clarify...

I have a laptop docked (wired nic) and tried wifi (iflwifi driver) seems to work correctly.
have other computers (waiting on ISOs) that use wifi tho.

Question 'kernel modules may have to be rebuilt? because of regressions/omissions in current kernel. Correct?

P.S. like to read to keep ahead of future problems

Thanks again:
J.Jay

by **Matt267** on Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:27 pm

My Realtek 8188CE wireless stopped working with UP4 and I couldn't reinstall the drivers. I installed the Liquorix Kernel and was able to install the drivers and get wireless back. (I'm also having trouble with my printer and sound, but I'll save those for another topic)

I want to able to have this box ready not later than Friday afternoon in order to give to someone who need a netbook. To do that I'll install the current and uprade to 4. If I knew the new iso will be out by Saturday at the lastedst, I could push it back a day.

@antiquexray, as you can see in those links the tests are going pretty fast, but nobody can assure you that by friday we'll have a rc out to test (and install). if you can wait a couple days more to see how it goes and then make a decision, better.

@Matt267, troubles with realtek is a bit strange;
can you give us the output of

Code: Select all: inxi -N

(capital N)
firmware-realtek should give support for that driver

This package contains the binary firmware for some Ethernet adapters with
the RTL8111/RTL8168 chips supported by the r8169 driver; and wireless
network cards with the RTL8188, RTL8192 and RTL8712 chips supported by the
r8192_pci, r8192s_usb, r8712u, rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu, rtl8192de and
rtl8192se drivers.

Contents:

can you try

Code: Select all: apt install firmware-realtek

@J.Jay,
a new kernel might drop support for some modules (very rare) and add for others (this happens a lot more), what we see here regarding broadcom is different, because it's one of the few (maybe afaik the only) wireless driver that needs rebuilding against every new kernel.

zerozero wrote:@antiquexray, as you can see in those links the tests are going pretty fast, but nobody can assure you that by friday we'll have a rc out to test (and install). if you can wait a couple days more to see how it goes and then make a decision...

Thank you so much for your help.
