[Solved] Wireless not detected

[gintunas]

Hello,

Another issue - installed kubuntu 10.4 on toshiba satellite c660D-14E screen 15.6".

Wired network detected and works, wireless not detected.

Found some suggestions to install ‘bcmwl-modaliases’ but it is installed there and up to date.

Any suggestions where to start from?

Thanx in advance.

Hi....

Please post the output of...

lspci

Also, does Jockey (or "Hardware Drivers") offer any additional broadcom wireless drivers? You can see Ubuntu's version of this program here.

Re: Wireless not detected

Hi....

My mistake, I noticed the "Bcmwl" in your first post and assumed that meant you had a chipset from Broadcom.

Do the instructions here, particularly from High Horse or Andy, help at all?
