No network after installation

[steve7233]

No Wired or WIFI! Suspect Broadcom Firmware missing. I forgot the exact number but it ends in 22 and I know it uses the firmware-b3-installer. I can't find DriverManager. How do I installer kernal moduals (drivers) in NEON? I think the driver is on the NEON install DVD, but how to install?

You would likely need to know the chipset of the card for us to help. To see what your OS sees (including the chipset and the driver), simply enter the following in the terminal:

lshw -C network

We can go from there. You can also have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...gGuide/Devices.
Since Neon is based on Ubuntu 16.04 things applicable to Ubuntu will largely hold true in Neon as well.

I forgot the nu!mber but ads said it's firmware-b3-installer. O ran the command and its the 4322 and if you look on the list you will see that I remberd the correct kernel module name.

Sorry using my Fire tablet. Touch screens and I don't get along.

It might be that Neon didn't have the dvd6 layout. They have the dvd5 layout but the WiFi switch will not toggle when I press it when using the dvd5 layout. I mean the keyboard layout. I forgot to add it says it is using the b43. Mabey just getting the switch to work.

[steve7233]

sudo rfkill unblock all and then rebooting fixed the switch. The tray icon still says disconnected. I checked and it's not in airplane mode.

[steve7233]

sudo ifconfigure eth0 and wlan0 both errotr with Device not found. I think the installer chose the wrong driver! Driver=b43-pci-bridge. Shouldn't just be the old b43. Not the legacy version.

I just tried connecting my phone and using kdeconnect but that didn't work. I probably need to download something... I seem to be caught betwen a rock and a hard place. I need to download software to connect to the internet, but I need to connect to the internet to install the software t ware.

I think my microprocessor can't connect to all the busses. How do I fix this?

sudo lspci -v | grep subordinate
Bus: primary =00, secondary=02, subordinate=02, sec-latency=0
Bus primary 00, secondary=03, subordinate=3, sec-latency=0
Bus primary=00, secondary=05, subordinate=05, sec-latency=0
Bus primary=0, secondary=06, subordinate=06, sec-latency=0
Bus primary=00, secondary=07, subordinate=09, sec-latency=0
Bus primary=00, secondary=0a, subordinate=0a, sec-latency=32

I need to get this fixed. O have an internet business that I need to get back to. I need to be able to do it via my lap top, so please help me solve This.

I attempted to use recovery mode. I told it to enable networking and got:

Trying to start networkMamager...

I don't think the bus is your problem.

Copy the following command line into a terminal. Give it your password when asked. When it is done you'll get three files in your home account: wireless-info, which is a script you can reuse, wireless-info.txt, which contains the output of that script, and wireless-info.tar.gz, the compressed output file.

Paste the output of wireless-info.txt into a code block (to preserve formatting which a quote block won't do) in your reply.

This computer has NO INTERNET ACCESS. Nether wlan0 nor eth0 as stated above.

[steve7233]

Dmsg says that I must goto http://wireless.kernal.org/end/users...devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. It looks like I was right. The installer chose the wrong b43 driver! Some one needs to tell the devs there is a show stopping bug in the installer for the HP Pavilion Entertainment PC us. dv6.

[steve7233]

The b43 driver is no longer avalible at that page!
