So decided to try a fresh install as ubuntu was having issues every update for me. Regardless i can’t seem to get my wireless working and i’d really appreciate some help as i have no idea what i’m doing.
Using a hp pavilion dv5 1235dx.
So my network card does show up it’s a broadcom 4312 pci id 4315.
Installed the b43 & wl drivers but it didn’t help. The hardware switch is stuck at orange but in ubuntu it would function despite this(sometimes rotfl!).
6.289522] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15)
6.304211] b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 6, Type 5, Revision 1)
6.304264] b43: probe of ssb0:0 failed with error -95
6.304320] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded Features: PML, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]
I guess that has something to do with my problem…
Probably getting ahead of myself but this comes up with sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
help would be awesome thanks!

/sbin/lspci -nnk

Seems to be working now possibly needed to restart for the WL driver to take over. Just to be sure posting output.
