With the Ubuntu 11.x releases, the proprietary Broadcom drivers stopped
working with the 4311 Broadcom chips (see bug 732677), and perhaps this
bug also affects your 4312 chip. However these chips works fine with the open
b43 driver, but you first need to install their firmware -- easily done with
a package install. First, remove the proprietary STA driver if installed, (which
is the same as driver wl), and its configuration files which suppress
the working b43 driver) by reversing whatever you did to install them:
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
and/or run additional-drivers and unselect the Broadcom STA driver

Check that your removal/deactivation above is complete:
all the lines with "blacklist b43" should have been removed from all
files in /etc/modprobe.d. These blacklist lines suppress the b43 driver,
so they must be removed -- just the exact "b43" and "b43legacy" lines,
leave the "bcm43xx" lines alone. Deal with any leftovers:
   sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf
   gksudo gedit any-file-found-with-b43
     and delete or put a # at the beginning.

The proprietary firmware cannot be distributed with the release,so you
have to manually add it. Use a wired connection, and in a terminal:
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
and accept the offer to download the Broadcom files, which
will put the Broadcom firmware into /lib/firmware/b43.
If you don't get the offer to download, then purge the package
and try again:
   sudo apt-get purge b43-fwcutter
   sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter

You can even use the open source firmware which is put into
directory /lib/firmware/b43-open.
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
but only one set of firmware is needed (and non-4312 users should
check for needing other versions of the firmware (like
firmware-b43-installer). If both sets of firmware are
present, the proprietary set in /lib/firmware/b43 will be used.

With the firmware in place, NetworkManager may start scanning,
if not, manually load the b43 driver module, or just reboot.
sudo modprobe b43

NetworkManager should start scanning and offer a list of possible
connection points within a few seconds.

Select your access point, select the correct encryption method, and enter
your key. If you are not broadcasting your ssid and it does not show up in
the list of access points, you might have to left click NetworkManager and
select the menu item "connect to hidden network", and enter your ssid. Next
boot, the connection should be automatic.

Hi,

Please first connect your wired network adapter to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1:

If you are using the Gnome interface, open the Terminal console via "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

If you are using the Unity interface, the easiest way to open the Terminal is to use the 'search' function on the dash. Or you can click on the 'More Apps' button, click on the 'See more results' by the installed section, and find it in that list of applications. A third way, available after you click on the 'More Apps' button, is to go to the search bar, and see that the far right end of it says 'All Applications'. You then click on that, and you'll see the full list. Then you can go to Accessories > Terminal after that.

The methods in Unity are:
Press Control-ALT-T key combination.
Dash > Search for Terminal
Dash > More Apps > 'See More Results' > Terminal
Dash > More Apps > Accessories > Terminal

Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure in Firefox into the Linux Terminal. Do NOT copy-paste from the Email message into the Terminal, as that will only copy PART of the command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word lsmod. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below from Firefox into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'chan|ssid'; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|ireless|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt5|rt6|rt7|usb|witch|wl';sudo dmidecode|egrep 'anufact|roduct|erial|elease'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt6|rt7|wmi|witch|wl'; cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; ps -aux|egrep 'wpa|icd|etwork'; netstat -rn ; cat /etc/resolv.conf; sudo lsmod

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command.

Mark

[ 625.091087] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode15.fw" not found
The above shows that neither the Broadcom nor the open source firmware is in place, so unless you removed them after trying out the b43 driver, try the installation again. The package installations should put files into /lib/firmware/b43 or into /lib/firmware/b43-open when successful. If you have decided to use the STA/wl driver, then no need for the firmware to be in the directories since it is embedded in the driver, but good luck getting the wl driver to work -- it may be necessary for some newer chips, but these older chips are well supported by the b43 driver and open source firmware.

@HoodedPianist :

Your Terminal output shows 2 issues:

1) [ 625.091081] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode15.fw" not found
[ 625.091087] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode15.fw" not found

These means that the package firmware-b43-lpphy-installer is not installed yet on your PC. You need to install it to get wireless working.

2) Module Size Used by
b43 369753 0
mac80211 539908 1 b43
cfg80211 206566 2 b43,mac80211
bcma 35656 1 b43

There is a conflict between the b43 and bcma wireless drivers. Only the b43 driver should be loaded and active, not the bcma driver.

Solution:

Please copy-paste the following commands into the Terminal (using a working, WIRED Internet connection):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer

Then please copy-paste each command below one by one into a Terminal. Hit <ENTER> after each command.

echo "blacklist bcma" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "blacklist brcmsmac" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "blacklist brcm80211" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

After running the commands above, make sure to select "Load Defaults" in the BIOS, save the configuration.

Then reboot and retest wireless.

Well, when I ran them then, it didn't work. That's all I know. It works now, though, and that's all that really matters, no?
