Wifi not working in ubuntu 15.04

7,533

For some reason I had to change my wi-fi security from WPA and WPA2 to only WPA2... With that I can find my home wi-fi with no problems..

    Yesterday I have made some updates and upgraded my linux 14.10 to linux 15.04.. Now I can't connect to my home wifi, and the others i get a dns_probe_finished_no_internet.. In the network-manager appears some really weak connections, but not my own which is 1 meter away and working because i can use my smartphone with it.

    The Laptop is a Toshiba L650 and the wireless driver is a broadcom Corporation BCM4313..

    Is this possible to repair? I have tried some things that appeared on google but nothing seems to work.

      Did you manually install a driver for the WiFi adapter? If yes, you may have to reinstall the driver, if a kernel update happened, which is quite likely if you did a release upgrade. If this is the problem, it can be avoided in future by using DKMS

    What do you mean by "didn't work"? Did it install? Or give some error? Do you have a wired connection? Did you download the file? What is your Ubuntu version?

    Please [edit} your initial question and add there output of uname -a command and sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source command. The driver does not install. We need to know why.

    I think the adapter is broken. Or bad contact with motherboard
