I am having trouble getting my Wireless to work on Ubuntu 12.10. My laptop is a Dell 3520 and the wireless chipset is Broadcom BCM43142 pci.id [14e4:4365] rev 1.
The below question looks similar to my issue and I tried it but it didn't work:
Dell Inspiron 5720 Wifi (Broadcom BCM43142, Ubuntu 12.10)
When I try to sudo dpkg -i wire*.deb
I get the below message:
Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the
kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
When I grep for my installed headers using dpkg --get-selections | grep headers
I see that I have:
linux-headers-3.5.0-17
linux-headers-3.5.0-21
linux-headers-3.5.0-21-generic
linux-headers-generic
Any idea what the issue is?
I checked if the wireless-bcm43142-dkms package got installed and it looks like it is when I do: dpkg --get-selections | grep bcm
.
