Thread: Total Newb: Unable to connect with Broadcom wifi card


hey, folks! bouncing baby ubuntu 12.04 user here. i'm living in japan, , english windows costs moon here, decided take plunge , install ubuntu on new acer aspire 1 d270 laptop. unfortunately, seems ubuntu , wifi card have... personality conflicts.

can see available connections, when select home internet connection , enter password, tries connect couple of minutes asks password again. , keeps asking, every few minutes, if hit cancel. have disable wireless stop asking wireless password, if that, won't turn on, or when does, home wifi missing list of available connections. wired connection works fine.

i've tried few solutions forum , elsewhere, because seems common problem, i'm worried did wrong, or used wrong solution, because couple of them made problem worse (wifi wouldn't enable, connections won't appear). so! have done clean install of ubuntu 12.04 live usb again. starting scratch, know issues 1 came with, not 1 created noobish muddling.

wifi card broadcom corporation bcm4313 802.11b/g/n wireless lan controller. additional drivers checked , installed.

small words, step step instructions, , hand-holding possible, please. linux new , scary.

welcome party! have lot of fun here.

if it's card think is, there 2 ways going , 1 correct. unfortunately, 'additional drivers' installs wrong conflicting method! let's verify driver , card have. open terminal , run , post:
code:
lspci -nn | grep 0280 lsmod | grep -e wl -e brcm -e b43 rfkill list all
the pipe symbol | on right side of keyboard on same key \. thanks.

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.
