Greetings,
My Broadcom B43 wireless was working on another distro on this old laptop but I can not figure out how to get it work on Mint Mate.
After installation I ran package manager and installed b43 installer and the legacy instaler, and fwcutter. I also installed the sta-common, dkms and source.
Poking around this forum I have learned to run lshw The following are results of the wifi card.
*-network:0 UNCLAIMED
description: Network controller
product: BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller
vendor: Broadcom Limited
physical id: 2
bus info: pci@0000:06:02.0
version: 02
width: 32 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: bus_master
configuration: latency=64
resources: memory:c0204000-c0205fff
It seems to me that all I need to do is initiate the card somewhere but I have not been able to see where. Any help would be appreciated. I was going run
sudo apt remove broadcom -sta-dkms bcmwl-kernel-source
but thought I should ask first. The wired catIV network is working fine btw.

Re: Broadcom B43: Should be easy for those more knowledge
Install the firmware-b43-installer and remove bcmwl-kernel-source and/or broadcom-sta-dkms and reboot
Re: Broadcom B43: Should be easy for those more knowledge
Hello Jeremy,
At terminal I typed:
sudo apt remove broadcom-sta-dkms bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer.
It would seem the first command was successful.
Install firmware-b43-installer ran as well, but returned with already installed and up to date, so nothing was done.
Seems to me it is not being initialized. The on off button on the laptop for WIfi does nothing, nor does the b43 driver show up in the Driver Manager.

Re: Broadcom B43: Should be easy for those more knowledge
If you have ethernet connection with the Mint machine, see the wireless script link in my signature and post results
Re: Broadcom B43: Should be easy for those more knowledge
Here are the results. I would like to think I noticed something, but it may be nothing. I noticed the b43 and b43-legacy are "blacklist" ?

Ok. I did that earlier but will do it again and report back.
In the mean time, if it is of any value (dang I really thought this would be a quick fix) from Damian1307 link I typed:
iwconfig: reponse "enp6s6 no wireless extensions"
typed:
rfkill list all
response: 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN softblocked no, hardblocked yes..oh wait, I just ran it again and hardblocked is now no.

Re: Broadcom B43: Should be easy for those more knowledge
Ok, I ran
sudo apt remove broadcom-sta-*
then rebot.
iwconfig is same restult as above.
The "rfkill list all" , "harblocked" yes or no results are affected by the wifi on/off button on the laptop. Though under XP and when I had it working in Lubuntu the light on the button would illuminate when it was active. I am nearly certain that with Lubuntu (on this laptop) I could not turn it off. Now in Mint I cant turn it on. LOL
At least I am learning from this.

Ok...I will try that and report back. It takes a while because I need to unplug the network cable from my desktop and then plug it into the laptop.

A reboot and the wifi light was off again. Running sudo modprobe b43 brings it back on.

Re: Broadcom B43: Should be easy for those more knowledge
You don't need to run the script again, but please post what you changed
Re: Broadcom B43: Should be easy for those more knowledge
I removed the wifi connection that I had manually set up with the ssid and parscode and let it search for available networks. I have not done a reboot though to see if comes back up or if I need to run the modprobe b43 to get the wifi card up and going on a new startup.
So after a re-boot it does not come back on automatically. Not a big deal as long as I know how to make it work. I very much appreciate the help.
