Re: hp pavillion dv6000 wifi prob

according to HP you've got a Broadcom 4321AG on board

check out the forum (u/kubuntu) for help on broadcom 43xx installation guides - having done something simlar i know theres loads of help on this subject

Hi sebmaiden666
My Notebook is a Pavilion Dv6226us and with the new version 7.10 the set up self configure the Broadcom drivers check that yout wireless is On and the light is blue that means on-line.
Check in System Settings > Network Settings if your System detect yout wireless card and check if it's enabled.
If there's Ok and you don't get the wireless network in your area as eggbanjo says check this forum o google to solve it :P

Re: hp pavillion dv6000 wifi prob

Mine is a

Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02)

and i had to

http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/1...ci-ubuntu-710/

to even get the light to turn blue (on)

after that i had a blue light but was still unable to connect. after some searching i found that knetwork manager (default kubuntu wireless manager) had some sort of bug using dhcp and some people were setting static ip's (tried it no love). so i disabled it and installed kwifi manager. (also tried wicd worked ok but for some reason runs slower than kwifi manager) so with kwifi manager i was able to connect to my AP consistently but....

(discussion on wireless managers http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3090153.0 )

it does not start at boot even with the "load config at boot" selected. and i have to manually sudo dhclient wlan0 every boot.

so obviously i m looking for a workaround. just thought you might try the kwifimanager/wicd option to test. its really fast to check.

edit:
i just set mine up static in /etc/network/interfaces
works on boot no dicking around. but i m gonna have to fiddle with a wifi manager or something when i leave my house.

oh yea i m new to kubuntu and so far i thinks its really good.

in a terminal

post back your output

like mine:
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02)


oh yea doesnt look like you have a wlan0. neither did i until i followed the instructions in the first link. then again i didnt have a blue light either. it was orange. does look like you have eth0 which my wild guess is thats the wireless card.

Re: hp pavillion dv6000 wifi prob

did you follow http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/1...ci-ubuntu-710/

exactly or did you simply dhclient wlan0 eth1 or whatever

there is a known bug in ndiswrapper with many bcm43xx modules

thats why that tutorial shows you how to blacklist the one that is loading currently and build your own from source code. in the comments of the article many if not most of the people are saying thank you it does work for many dv6000 laptops mine included. if you dont like vim (i cant figure it out) sudo kate or sudo apt-get install mc ( i still really like mc)

again if you havent followed that tutorial i recommend trying it. after doing so you may even have a device "wlan0"

cheers
