realtekwireless

I'm using a dual boot pc with windows and ubuntu 10.10. Ubuntu has underwent a fresh installation and now wireless connection is displayed as available but when i connect, it is unable to connect to internet.When i use a wired connection in ubuntu , i can access the internet and it works.The wireless connection works well when i use windows so i don't see a problem with wireless router also my lappy with ubuntu can connect to it .I'm using wired connection just for the time otherwise i use wireless.Some of the output which may be helpful fore reference.

Best Answer

While you are connected to wired network:

Open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and type the following command to install the Synaptic Package Manager:

sudo apt-get install synaptic

  1. Now open the Synaptic Package Manager and search bcm in it. Uninstall or remove any package if already (related to bcm) specially bcmwl-kernel-source

  2. Now install these two packages: b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer.

Disconnect the wired network...restart.
