Mint 14 Cinnamon

[LTISTG]

I have a Dell D810 laptop and I am trying to work out a few bugs. Mint 13 worked, but on Mint 14 I am having wireless adapter problems. I installed the B43 firmware and can see my wireless, but when I try to connect it fails without reason. I have checked everything twice, including re-installing the b43 drivers. Is this a known bug or does anyone have any ideas where to proceed.

can you go to a terminal and post the output of

Code: Select all

lspci

Please also do:

Code: Select all

mintwifi

And share the output of that.

I know that Broadcom can give a lot of headaches.

Can't this issue be solved by removing all broadcom drivers and installing these packages?
- firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
- b43-fwcutter

not all broadcom cards use b43 some use sta or WL driver series.
so no that's not a fix for all Broadcom cards. That's why I wanted to know which card the op is using.

We're both being lazy i guess

According to the info i found the Wifi adaptor chipset for the Dell Latitude D810 laptop should be:

Wireless - WLAN
Intel® Pro Wireless 2200 802.11b/g and Intel® Pro Wireless 2915 802.11a/b/g
Dell Wireless 1350 802.11b/g and Dell Wireless 1450 802.11a/b/g.

So my post regarding the 2 packages can be ignored for this matter.

And this teach us both, kc1di and me, that searching before posting is the best way to provide good support

yup your right nomko, I was a bit lazy today. but thought maybe I was wrong about the intel card so wanted him this list

Code: Select all

lspci

just in case.
