No WiFi Broadcom BCM 43142. Mint Cinnamon 20.2

[lerelerele]

Can you post the results of this command:

Code: Select all

 inxi -Fxxxrz && rfkill list && iwconfig && mokutil --sb-state 

Sorry, I'm in the same problem with a HP Stream 13", but the last Cinnamon 20.2.
If you could specify which part of the list is of interest, I would appreciate it because, as I do not have internet, I do not know how to copy the results.
In the Network part, when posted yor code, it tells me:

Device-1: Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b / g / n
vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: N / A port: 1000 bus ID: 02: 00.0
chip ID: 14e4: 4365

I do not know if that is needed or more is required, if possible, please tell me, thank you.

lerelerele,

For a temporary connection:
https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c ... ernet.html

Go to Driver Manager & install the driver offered there, likely bcmwl-kernel-source.

Thank you very much. I've followed the steps, installed the driver, but once i've retired the cable, there's no internet again. Do I have to make something?

[sleeper12]

Did you reboot?

[lerelerele]

Thanks for your help... Yes, I don't know if I have to install manually or something.

You need to disable secure boot in Bios.

Thanks again, secure boot disabled, when restarted no internet again...

[sleeper12]

Check Driver Manager again & see if the driver is installed. You may have to reboot again if you install it.

Many thanks, I've checked the driver manager, searching for drivers but no results. The firts time that I've connected, I've marked the suggested driver and it semms to be downloaded. Can I manually search for this driver in order to install it?

[sleeper12]

While connected, try:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source 

Reboot

[lerelerele]

While connected, try:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source 

Reboot

At last, after searching several times in the driver manager appears:

"a proprietary control in use"

Does this thing chane something?

[sleeper12]

Not sure, let's see:

Code: Select all

 lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net && rfkill list

Sorry, this line is:
dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to correct the problem

[sleeper12]

Ok, so try:

Code: Select all

 sudo dpkg --configure -a
