Fujitsu Siemens Amilo LI2735 notebook WI-FI conection.

Asked by brokencrystal.com

It's a broadcom chipset, not sure what one, you can find chipset information by downloading the driver and extracting it (Self-Extracting .EXE File) from Dell's website for the Dell Inspiron 1501 notebook's 802.11g wireless. I have included the info and link below. It is difficult to get to work with ndiswrapper (very difficult!) It would be nice if a Linux driver was available!

Download the driver here:

Hello !

To know exactly which chipset is used by your WiFi card, you can run 'lspci' on command line and locate the corresponding line ...

Here, you can find a step-by-step guide to make it work (if chipset corresponds to the one your using) : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29

Hello !

I have installed this driver on my laptop, a dell XPS M1210, with a wifi card dell wireless 1500 Draft 802.11n WLAN mini Card.

The installation goes well, but the connexion is very unstable and my computer freezes randomly (my only choice then is to reboot the system).

Do you know this bug ?

Thank you for your support.

Benoit,

I have the same model of laptop and I can confirm this is a bug in Feisty.

Here's the output of lspci:

user@host:~$ lspci -v | grep Broadcom
05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01)
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)

Let me know if I open the bug or the appropiate work around.

Thanks in advance.

Steve, could you please open a new support ticket rather than answer an existing one, it makes it hard for us to track them otherwise.
